Jean Duncan

A graduate of Edinburgh College of Art, Jean Duncan studied printmaking at Ulster Polytechnic Art and Design Centre. Her paintings and prints have been widely exhibited in Ireland, the UK and internationally. She is represented in many private and public collections including AIB Bank, Bank of Ireland, Arts Council of Northern Ireland, Dundee City Art Gallery, and the Department of Culture, Arts and the Gaeltacht. Elected to the Royal Ulster Academy in 1994, Duncan has been involved in the foundation of several of Northern Ireland's key cultural institutions.

In 1994 The Protecting Veil, her series of etchings and projected images based on the music by John Taverner, was commissioned by the Goldberg Ensemble and presented and performed at the Royal Northern College of Music, Manchester. This was followed by Still Dancers, based on Piers Hellawell's music The Still Dancers.

In 2002 Duncan and the com poser, Deirdre McKay, worked in collaboration on "The Fly" at the Old Museum Arts Centre, Belfast, based on William Blake's Songs of Experience.

In 2005 they have collaborated again on "A Pale Yellow Sky" at The Naughton Gallery, Queen's University, Belfast.
