Hilke MacIntyre was born in Germany and grew   		      
up near Kiel. She studied architecture at the College    
of Art & Architecture in Kiel and after her diploma  
in 1990 worked in offices in Hamburg, Edinburgh    
and London.  
In '96 she moved to Scotland and concentrated on art.    
She now lives with her husband - also an artist - and  
their 2 children near St Andrews.
 

" I paint, print linocuts and make ceramic reliefs in a simplified  figurative style.

Particular influences are primitive art, folk art, the artists of Europe in the early 20th Century and contemporary design. I enjoy the direct visual pleasure of composing shapes, colours and patterns, looking for an individual picture of the world I see around me.
