BiographyCaroline McNairn was born in Selkirk in 1955. Her father (John McNairn) and grandfather (also John McNairn) were also painters. Her father died in 2009 aged 98 and he, too, had studied at Edinburgh College of Art in the 1920’s, and then in the early 1930’s in Paris under Othon Friesz, a friend and pupil of Cezanne. Caroline was therefore only 2 steps away from the father of modern art and his work had a marked influence on her. She studied art at the University of Edinburgh and then Edinburgh College of Art.[1] In the early 1980s, McNairn was one of the first of a new generation of Scottish expressionist artists to exhibit in New York and Chicago, promoted by the 369 Gallery in Edinburgh, with which she had been closely associated from its foundation in 1978, not only as a regular exhibitor but also as an inspiring teacher and artistic adviser. She had a critically acclaimed and ground-breaking show in 1986 at the cutting edge Avenue B Gallery in Manhattan, where her work was admired by Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat. In the same year, she also had shows in Hong Kong, Los Angeles and Santa Fe, and in 1990 spent a year working in the Soviet Union exhibiting with the notorious Kievsky Station Group in Moscow and Odessa.
