Dove's first degree was in Psychology from the
University of Glasgow. After graduation, Dove supported herself by creating and selling jewellery. In 1996, she gained a scholarship from
Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design in
Dundee. She undertook a BA and specialised in sculpture. It was during this course of study that she became involved with an artist-initiated project with Unit 13 and as part of the project Full Eye with Anne-Marie Copetake and Ariki Porteous. and it is suggested that it was this mixed media combination that led to her being involved in representing Scotland in The
Venice Biennale in Zenomap 2003. After completing her BA, she moved to Glasgow, where she continued to create further projects combining music and art in addition to co founding the band Muscles of Joy. She has had Solo exhibitions of her work in the
Transmission Gallery; Platform and
GoMA, Glasgow; Collective and
Talbot Rice, Edinburgh; Pump House, London and Spacex, Exeter. A memorial exhibition of her work, curated by Graham Domke, was held at Dundee Contemporary Arts in autumn 2016, after which it toured the Highlands of Scotland. The exhibition had originally been planned before her death, as a retrospective of her work. == References ==
