Biography.
Ogilvie was born near Montrose and grew up near the Cairngorms in Scotland. Ogilvie attended Edinburgh College of Art from 1964 to 1969, where she studied sculpture.
While initially focusing on sculpture, Ogilvie has spent much of her career creating drawings on paper. In the 2000s–early 2010s, she undertook research in Greenland, working with scientists and connecting with the local Inuit community; the resulting project was titled "Out of Ice". More recent works are created across many mediums including water, music, light, architecture and video.
Ogilvie has lectured at the University of Edinburgh where she is an Honorary Senior Research Fellow. She uses her converted derelict cinema home and studio in Kinghorn to support early-career artists through her cultural trust, Lateral Lab.
In August 2018, the Black Dog Press published a book based on Ogilvie's "Out of Ice" project.
