I am an artist based in Oldmeldrum, Aberdeenshire. I originally graduated from Glasgow School of Art in 1996 with a degree in woven textiles. I moved into the field of interior design and education for many years before returning to my love of painting around 2019. I now work from my studio at home surrounded by our beautiful landscape.

I am constantly sourcing inspiration, every dog walk or trip to the coast here in the north east of Scotland brings with it new images and colours. My work varies from small abstract studies of colour and line to larger more sweeping canvasses of skies, fields and seas. I have recently been looking into the history of our coast through its lighthouses, shipwrecks and old abandoned buildings and look forward to exploring this further in new works this year. I primarily work in acrylics, pastel and charcoal which allow me to explore my enthusiasm for colour and line.

Informed by man’s relationship with the rural highlands of Scotland, my practice is an exploration of my continued experiences within the Cairngorms and Highlands. With particular focus on the role of Bothies within the Scottish landscape and rural communities, I create paintings that explore the experience of a place and capture a memory or moment, drawing attention to the uncultivated nature that surrounds us. My work attempts to preserve those experiences by expressing the characteristics of my journeys endured over the years. 

​These small, intimate paintings are formed out of personal memories or appropriated secondary source material that relates to personal and collective experiences in the Scottish Landscape.
