I was born and educated in central Scotland and studied art to Higher level at school. However, a maths degree followed by a career in Finance took me to London for 16 years. I moved with my husband and three young children to Dunblane in 2004 and soon after decided to start painting again.
My paintings are vivid representations of the countryside, celebrating blue skies, bright seas and colourful flowers. I am particularly inspired by coastal views and many of my paintings are seascapes but I thrive on variety and will also paint flowers, gardens, landscapes and the occasional portrait or figurative piece. I work mainly in acrylics and oils but have the occasional foray into coloured pencils from time to time.
Living and working in Dunblane, I take advantage of my central location to travel to the western isles, Fife and north of Scotland to seek out inspiration for new paintings of Scottish scenes. In my years “down south” I became a regular visitor to East Sussex and return when I can to enjoy and paint the expansive coastlines, white cliffs and historic buildings of that part of the country.
