June Carey, born in Stirling, Scotland, began her career as an artist at Glasgow School of Art in the 1960’s. In 1982 she became a member of Edinburgh Printmakers and began a lifelong love affair with printmaking. Discovering etching was a turning-point in her work and career. The process of making an etching set her imagination free. She had found her subject, and has been exhibiting her work widely throughout Britain and abroad since.
Her work is held in many public and private collections including the BBC, Eton College, Oxford University, Peter Gabriel (Musician), Thomas Agnew, Bond St. London, Lady Thyne Collection, The Royal Bank of Scotland, Scottish Arts Council, Engramme, Quebec, Teachers Whisky and The Stirling Smiths Art Gallery & Museum.
Awards include Glasgow District Council (Residency in Quebec), “Woman 2000” European City of Culture, Scottish Arts Council (research in Mexico), Anne Redpath, Visual Artist Forth Valley & Creative Scotland, Glasgow Art Club, MacDonald Orr, Hope Scott Trust, McGregor Donald Trust, Scottish Arts Club, Dundee District Council, Angus Council, Connell & Connell and the Senellier Award, London.
