Agnes Nimmo

Agnes is an artist based in Lauder. She has always been interested in art, art history, design and creativity, and since retiring and moving to the Scottish Borders in 2006 she has led a productive and educational pursuit in painting and textiles. She is active in the local community and art groups, and regularly displays her work at local exhibitions.

Originally from Glasgow, Agnes has lived and worked in and around Edinburgh and has lived in the Scottish Borders for almost two decades. She has followed a non-traditional route to being an artist, and enjoys experimenting with different materials and techniques, preferring to push her own boundaries and never stay in a comfortable zone.

She has travelled extensively, enjoys a very active lifestyle, and manages to find time to develop and promote her own work. Relaxation comes in the form of gardening, and activities with friends and family in Scotland, the UK and Europe.
