SYNOPSIS
An intimate portrait of figurative artist Greer Ralston as she astonishes us with her exceptional talent and tells of her plans to devote herself solely to art. Please note, you’re invited post-screening for a Q & A with Rachel & Bonnie. This is a unique opportunity and one we know you’ll enjoy.

Critically acclaimed artist, Greer Ralston, trained at Glasgow School of Art in the 1980s, and has shown and sold her figurative paintings and other artistic works all over the world. In her documentary, Rachel Dax (Interviewer, Director & Producer) examines the life and work of this exceptional talent, exploring how Ralston’s identity as both a woman and a lesbian intersects with and informs her art. Drawing on her vast knowledge of women’s art history, Ralston’s responses are concurrently informative, fascinating and, at times, surprising.
