Gill Watkiss studied at the Walthamstow School of Art before coming to live in Newlyn in 1959. A decade later, she moved to a house at St.Just and this was a major turning point in her career. She painted St.Just and its inhabitants for the next eight years and her work during this time was stimulated by its wind blown streets and cottages and the vitality and life of its community. It is still a dominating force in her approach to painting today. Her work can be found in private collections throughout Britain, Europe and America.
