ABOUT JILLIAN
Originally from Aberdeen, Jillian Bain Christie moved to Glasgow at the age of 17 to study Fine Art Printmaking at the Glasgow School of Art. As part of her degree, she participated in an exchange programme with the Academy of Fine Arts, Vienna (Akademie der bildenden Künste Wien), and spent three months living and working in the Austrian capital. This experience would prove to be an extremely influential one. Not only did it influence the direction of Jillian’s subsequent artwork, but also, evenings spent at the Vienna State Opera and Volksoper introduced her properly to opera, a genre with which she had not engaged fully before.
Upon graduating from Glasgow, Jillian was awarded an Andrew Grant Scholarship, enabling her to pursue a Master’s degree in Illustration at Edinburgh College of Art. During her time living in Edinburgh, she discovered singing. It would quickly become an integral part of her life.
Jillian is an award-winning Scottish artist and soprano currently based in Norwich. Read more here.
