Scottish artist Ju Underwood originally gained qualifications as an architect from Glasgow School of Art, and subsequently a First Class Honours Degree in Fashion from Salford University, UK, and a Masters in Fashion from Westminster University in London. As an artist she is self taught, and over the past 15 years this pursuit has run in parallel with her architectural work. Her art practice is focused on the layers of human psychology that transcend boundaries of place, time and gender. Underwood has attended artist residencies in Europe, Asia and the USA, and her work has been featured several exhibitions. In 2010 she founded a residency programme, ArtFunkl Artists’ Residency and Initiative, based in Manchester, UK, and Valencia, Spain.
