Biography

Born in Milngavie, Scotland on 25 October 1914, she was the youngest child of Elizabeth McLellan, née Hannah and John McLellan.[1] McLellan was educated at Bearsden Academy[2] before going on to graduate from the Glasgow School of Art with distinction.[1] In her third year she studied in the workshop of Charles Baillie, an artist who worked with stained glass.[3] She was awarded the John Keppie scholarship.[3]

McLellan pioneered the use of a stained glass technique called "Dalle de verre" in Scotland.[1][4] She used this technique in her work in Pluscarden Abbey.[4]

From 1971 McLellan and her husband worked in the Crawfordjohn, South Lanarkshire and in 1989 McLellan retired to live with her daughter in Canada.[1]
