Based in Kingston, Judy Ann MacMillan is one of Jamaica’s most celebrated painters. Well-known for her acutely observed portraits, landscapes and still life paintings, she exhibits locally and internationally and in 2007 was inducted into the Hall of Fame of the Caribbean Foundation for the Arts, for her outstanding contribution in the field of art.
In 1962 Judy travelled to Scotland to study at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art in Dundee. Her time in the city would have a significant impact on her subsequent career - she later wrote: “Dundee formed me and I am forever grateful for its influence in my life.”
This special online event accompanies the exhibition Jamaican Journeys: Identity, Place and Conversations through Art, now showing in the Lamb Gallery at the University of Dundee. Judy will be in conversation with Dr Susan P Mains, Lecturer in Human Geography at the University.
