Moth Orchid, 1999
Abigail McLellan (11 July 1969 - 11 October 2009) was a Scottish artist born in Middlesbrough. She graduated from Glasgow School of Art in 1991. She was noted for still-life paintings consisting of pared down, almost abstracted, images of single plants, flowers, other distinct items and portraits. These are all set against richly worked backgrounds of saturated colour bearing a strong influence from Japanese art.
McLellan produced six screenprint editions and a number of monoprints working with Master Printmakers at Glasgow Print Studio.
Her work was highly acclaimed, being exhibited at both the National Portrait Gallery in London, and the Royal Scottish Academy, Edinburgh.
