A bit about me.
​

I am an artist based in Edinburgh.

Picture
I have always loved drawing and painting. One afternoon when I was about 4 years old my mum found me happily drawing pictures on my bedroom walls .... apparently I'd run out of paper to draw on!

My Art Career - I attended Edinburgh College of Art from 
1987-92 where I gained an honours and post graduate degree as well as two additional awards (see below). From 1993-1994 I gained my second post graduate degree plus the 'Most Promising Teacher of Art & Design Award' at The Moray House Institute of Education. I then taught Art for 4 years at Madras College, St Andrews. In 1998 I left teaching to paint full time. Since becoming a full time artist I have enjoyed numerous solo shows and many commissions both in the UK and abroad (see details below).

Everyday life -  I live by the sea at Cramond in Edinburgh with my son, daughter and wire-haired fox terrier. I love it here and my daily dog walks always produce lots of ideas for my painting. We spend quite a bit of our spare time in Fife, in particular the seaside villages of Elie, St Monans, Pittenweem, Anstruther and Crail as well as the nearby town of St Andrews. It's a good balance of city / country life and both places give me a constant flow of ideas for my work.
