Maclure grew up in rural Scotland, taking up stained glass later in life. [2] She initially worked with her partner to restore and conserve historic stained glass, and later began creating her own work. [3]
Maclure's lightboxes are recognisable for both their technical experimentation and their mix of personal, social and environmental storytelling. Critics note that her work moves stained glass away from a decorative approach and back towards its medieval story telling roots. [4] [3] [5]
In 2020 the National Museum of Scotland purchased her piece ‘Self-portrait Dreaming of Portavadie.’ [1] In 2021 Maclure's work 'Green Man Searches for Wilderness' was selected to appear in 'England on Fire: a visual journey through Albion's psychic landscape' a book and accompanying exhibition by Stephen Ellcock. [6]
Maclure is also singer and songwriter with the band PumaJaw. [7]

Repairs, selective demolition, restoration, and development work took place between 2008 and 2011. The halls re-opened in April 2012.
