Carola Brotherton (now Gordon) b.1940
Carola Brotherton received a BA in English and Fine Art from the University of Natal in 1961, an MA (English) from Cambridge University, England (1963) and a Diploma in Fine Art from the Edinburgh College of Art, Scotland (1965). On her return to South Africa in 1966 she lectured part-time at the University of Natal with Jane Heath and subsequently at the University of Pretoria. She settled in Scotland permanently in 1977. She works in oil, mixed media, watercolour and ink. Her subject matter is taken from everyday surroundings, with a particular interest in buildings and townscapes. The linoprints on display were produced from a series of line drawings of Victorian buildings in Pietermaritzburg she produced in 1967.
