Hi I'm GILLIAN McIVER. I'm a filmmaker, writer and art historian.
I blog at The Art Traveller, where I write about travelling the world and looking at art. I'm interested in how the environment and history of a place affect how we see art.
I also make art and films and you can see those on www.artsite.org.uk.
My work includes documentary film-making, short films and artists' video, often exploring historical events or places.
My interest in art history and film led me, in 2016 to write "Art History for Filmmakers" published by Bloomsbury Press, a book exploring how filmmakers can and do use paintings from the past to inspire and create visual story telling.
