Theodore Gillick
Theodore Gillick was born in 1972 and, against the flow of his close-knit and entirely artistic family studied science at Aberdeen University. A scholarship to the University Botanical Gardens in Jerusalem followed where a friend and painter introduced him to sculpture.
Returning to Britain Gillick consulted on deer management and grazing throughout Scotland and her Islands for the Macaulay Research Institute in Aberdeen and the Institute of Terrestrial Ecology in Banchory but finally quit to retrain in sculpture and stone carving. Finishing that course with an award, Theodore set about developing work and ideas and received his first commissioned work in 1997.
Although nothing is gained by association Theodore Gillick's family has been involved professionally in the arts for three generations. Among them are poets, actresses, illustrators, dancers, painters, architects, designers and craftsmen.
It is within this extended family tradition of professional artists, designers and makers that Theodore grew up and was trained, and it forms the bedrock of his work. He is married and has four fabulous children.
