Biography

Ogilvie was born near Montrose and grew up near the Cairngorms in Scotland. [5] [6] Ogilvie attended Edinburgh College of Art from 1964 to 1969, where she studied sculpture. [7]

While initially focusing on sculpture, Ogilvie has spent much of her career creating drawings on paper. [7] In the 2000s–early 2010s, she undertook research in Greenland, working with scientists and connecting with the local Inuit community; the resulting project was titled Out of Ice. [6] More recent works are created across many mediums including water, music, light, architecture and video. [8] [9]

Ogilvie has lectured at the University of Edinburgh where she is an Honorary Senior Research Fellow. [10] She uses her converted derelict cinema home and studio in Kinghorn to support early-career artists through her cultural trust, Lateral Lab. [5] [4]

In August 2018, the Black Dog Press published a book based on Ogilvie's Out of Ice project. [11]
