KMG is a Scottish based artist who has been creating work on the street for over two decades.
She was brought up steeped in the stories and tales of Northern Scotland. Inspired by the Celtic folklore stories that have shaped her own cultural identity, her work is created to celebrate, revive and reclaim the mythologies and history of oral story telling that are often overlooked and forgotten.
Her work explores how marginalised communities have been impacted by different social agendas and the effect this has had on our cultural legacies, connections and landscapes.
KMG uses her work as a catalyst to provoke questions on how these stories and myths translate to modern society, and the ways in which they are connected to our cultural identity and contemporary environments.
Community engagement is also an integral element of her practise. She develops bespoke workshop programmes, created to engage with people across the lifespan, with the aim of informing and inspiring local communities to explore oral storytelling in their area. Through visual representation and art, people are enabled to create a visual identity of their own unique culture and heritage.
