Carol Graham (b.1951, Belfast)
Carol Graham studied at Belfast College of Art from 1970-74 taking a post-diploma course in 1975. In 1976 she was awarded an Arts Council bursary and a major award in 1980 followed by a one-person show at the Arts Council Gallery in 1981. In 1985, and again in 1996, she won the gold medal at the Royal Ulster Academy. She is well known for her photo-realistic work and for her portraits. Among her portrait commissions have been James Galway for the Ulster Museum, Dixie Gilmore as Lord Mayor of Belfast for Belfast City Council, President Mary Robinson and golfer Christy O’Connor, Senior. Recently, her work has become more abstract and personal in nature.
