Claire Harrigan

Claire Harrigan was born in Kilmarnock, in November 1964. Claire studied art at Glasgow School of Art from 1982 to 1986 graduating with a BA Hons in Fine Art (Drawing and Painting). She very quickly came to the attention of several galleries and set up studio to become a full time artist. Her first solo show was staged at the Macaulay Gallery at Stenton in 1988, followed in the same year by a solo exhibition at Christopher Hull Gallery in London. Since that time her solo shows have been a major feature of her work schedule, alternating every two years between prestigious galleries, with mixed shows also being accommodated in many of the major UK commercial galleries. Claire has been the recipient of many major awards.
