A graduate of Edinburgh College of Art and Leith School of Art, I live and work in East Lothian. A mixed media artist and painter, I work from my own studio. Inspiration comes from patterns and colours I see around me, mostly when out walking Cassie my studio buddy. I am particularly drawn to the visible signs of nature versus culture; ivy asserting itself over walls, trees growing up through abandoned buildings, the patina of old paint...
A former teacher, I am most keen for others to find their own creative energy so I also provide tutoring in skills and techniques in drawing, painting and mixed media. Details of current classes can be found on the Classes and Workshops page and will be updated when the studio reopens.
