Jenny Coyle is a mixed media artist who grew up in Monifieth, Scotland. She graduated with a First Class BA Honours in Interaction Design from The Glasgow School of Art in 2024.
Her work consists of conceptual sculptures and making in materials like metal, wood, plaster and clay. Exploring different personal topics such as grief, trauma, memory and loss and social topics/issues such as the stigma against ADHD, visual impairment, autism and the environment. Working in various teams has allowed Jenny to expand different skills such as managing workloads individually as well as co-operatively. This has also created the opportunity to work in different environments such as Buchanan Galleries and Glasgow Central Station. Using art as a form of therapy has allowed Jenny to explore different techniques and materials and experiment with different themes like water holding memory and bringing the outdoor environment in, creating accessible experiences for all and to make connections.
