Gillian Eilidh O’Mara

Gillian is a multi award-winning artist and writer of Scottish and Irish heritage, who grew up in Dundee and now makes her home in County Durham, where she wanders the countryside with two daughters and a boisterous dog. A daydreamer at heart, she is known for the light in her work and loves expansive skies, cold North Sea air, big unanswerable questions and all things storytelling.

‘The Light on the Sea’ is where she shares thoughts, pictures and more on themes of beauty in uncertainty, community, art, poetry and more. The publication is not pay-walled at the moment, but voluntary contributions help keep the lights on and also support Gillian’s local community work running ‘Hidden Story’, a creative arts social enterprise using storytelling as a vehicle for community development and place-making.
