- Biography
My work explores the relationship between landscape and memory, horizons and emotion. I love the creative exploration of dramatic weather and scenery, capturing the beauty of a glimpse of sunlight through a dark cloud, or a golden reflection on deep distant water. I paint where I love being: the Scottish outdoors with its mountains, lochs, beaches and thunderous skies. I paint instinctively and loosely, predominantly using acrylic paint on canvas, often with the addition of gold leaf.
Before becoming a professional artist, I studied English Literature and Language at university and worked in publishing in Edinburgh and London. My love for art stems from the same place as my love for books: a deep appreciation for imagination, escapism, and shared connection.
As my children have grown, I have been able to fully pursue my long-held dream of painting full-time. During four years of study at Leith School of Art, I refined my style of abstract landscape painting and connected with a thriving artistic community. Since then, I have exhibited at the Edinburgh Art Fair, the Borders Art Fair, the Torrance Gallery, Dundas Street Gallery, Moy Mackay Gallery, Studio 44, Artisan& Gallery, MacGregor Fine Art and the Larks Gallery. My work, including commissioned pieces, has found homes throughout the UK and overseas.
