Artist Bio

As a self taught artist I face the ongoing desire to capture what I see in front of me. I was fortunate enough to spend a great deal of time in the mountains as a child which undoubtedly contributed to my love of that particular aesthetic. It’s hard to find more beauty than in the natural world. In my teens I moved from place to place seeking landscapes that filled me with awe and wonder. Living in a variety of stunning locations allowed me to indulge my love of mountains, water and big skies which evidently influenced me with their beauty as they are continually repeated in my paintings.

Painting became my preferred way of expressing my creativity after a knee injury in 2017 left me housebound for four months. At first I filled my time playing with light and shade, painting various subjects, eventually over the years I’ve improved through trial and error. I paint prolifically and inevitably come back to the same thing, again and again… the sky and the sea. And now I find myself with a plethora of paintings and a desire to keep creating. My work has been purchased from lovely customers around the globe and I am continually flattered and delighted when approached for commissions. More of my work is to be found on my Instagram and Facebook pages, where I share my most recent work first. I am currently exhibiting with: ‘The Velvet Easel, Portobello, ‘Colinton Art’, Colinton, ‘The Green Gallery’ Dollar/ Buchlyvie and ‘The Coast Gallery’ Dunbar. Please do not hesitate to contact me should you require further information about current work or commissioned work.
