Pauline Aitken

Born 1943

Aitken was born in Bedford and studied at the Slade School of Fine Art in London (1961–66). She lives and works in Norfolk. Her work is mainly two-dimensional and is ‘concerned with the exploration of the process of change and of states of change, through the investigation of botanical and zoological forms, where structure is constantly transforming – the flux of life.’
