MacAskill graduated from Wimbledon School of Art with a Masters in Fine Art in 2005 and since then Blue has shown films and exhibited throughout the UK as well as in South Africa, Sweden and Portugal. She was voted the most promising young filmmaker at The Swansea Bay Film Festival and recently exhibited as Artist-in-Residence at The National Waterfront Museum. The resulting work from this project, titled: ‘Duwiesau Diwydiant’ was shown at the 2006 National Eisteddfod in Felindre, near Swansea. The work was on show at the Museum until April 2008. This residency involved a commission for a sound piece with the Welsh Swansea-based folk band SILD. MacAskill said, ‘I enjoy working with other artists and groups to make work. It can make a project reach a wider audience and you find so much out about how you produce art and contribute to the cultural community as a whole.’ For the past two years Blue has also worked on social projects at schools and with young people, exploring ideas of art and art practise.  Specialties: Film, Animation, Claymation, Digital Artist, Tablet apple and Android Apps in soundtrack animation and film editing.
