" I can't get enough of Scottish artist Pinkie Maclure's stained    glass works" Brian Boucher, ARTNET 2025

"It’s both monumental and irreverent, elevating the humble pursuit of gardening while thumbing its nose at the grandiose history of the medium."   Susan Mansfield****Scotsman 2023

​

Pinkie Maclure (b. Edinburgh, 1961) is a Scottish artist and musician who is expanding the possibilities of stained glass by making  immersive sound and light installations, narrative light boxes, live performance and free-hanging stained glass sculptures.

She worked as an architectural stained glass for 30 years and a recording artist for 40 years.

​

Pinkie’s critically-acclaimed first solo exhibition and installation,  ‘Lost Congregation’ , took place at CCA Glasgow, Scotland in 2023.

Pinkie’s first solo exhibition in England, 'Earthly Spirits',   takes place from January 31st - May 4th at East Quay Watchet in Somerset, UK and will feature two new sculptural stained glass works, a new 3D sound installation, live ambisonic performance and new video work.

 ‘Self-Portrait Dreaming of Portavadie’ (2019), acquired by the National Museum of Scotland, recalls childhood summers spent at her grandfather’s cottage in remote West Scotland, a much loved  place that was blown up and obliterated by a government-sponsored oil company when she was 11.  This early awakening to humanity's destructive tendencies still informs much of her work today, yet it is imbued with a spirit of rebellious optimism.

'Beauty Tricks' examines the effects of beauty industry upon women and the environment and was acquired by the National Stained Glass Museum, Ely, UK in 2024.
