About Ailsa Black

Ailsa Black trained at Gray's School of Art in Aberdeen where she studied Graphic Design and Illustration. Today she works from a seaside studio in the tiny Scottish village of Carsethorn in Dumfries and Galloway. From her studio she observes and captures the daily comings and goings of village life. Today her art appears in galleries and on an extensive and growing range of gift ware available both in the UK and abroad. Ailsa has exhibited at the Royal Glasgow Institute and Paisley Art Institute. In 2017 she was listed as one of 25 top UK influential art brands to watch by a panel of over 200 retailers and business people by Licensing Biz. In 2018 her RSPB Year Planner was voted Best Charity Calendar in the UK Calendar Awards.

I absolutely love Alisia Black calendars . I have been buying them for some years. The pictures are beautiful, soft and whimsical and the lay out of the calander dates are prefect for me. I love supporting small businesses and local artist 🎨. Love your work Alisia. Yvonne🤗👍

The jigsaw arrived perfectly packed and in good time via Royal Mail (we were on holiday, so not exactly sure how long it took, but it was speedy despite the strikes). The product is exactly as described - can't wait to get started on it!

Great to be able to go to the homely wee studio where Ailsa works her magic! I love the art Ailsa creates, it is fun, bright and represents Scottish scenes. Great for gift ideas and affordable.

Just received another wonderful print. We have been buying from Ailsa for a number of years. We first met her at a show during Spring Fling and instantly fell in love with the delightful images of this fascinating part of Scotland. It is easy to find your way around the website and feel affinity with the belties! The purchasing and delivery was extremely easy. Just need another significant birthday or event to look again.

I just love the placemats and coasters, which were given to me for Christmas by my brother. I already have one of your pictures, also from him, which always makes me smile. Thank you.

My husband and I first became aware of Ailsa's work about 10 years ago and ordered some of her gorgeous mugs. Since that time we have ordered two prints, several packs of her card both for Christmas and general use and also commissioned two original paintings. Her products are fist class, arrive in a timely fashion, her communication during the commissioned pieces kept me well informed of progress. All in all a very good experience.
