This studio is not open for the current event.
My watercolours are inspired by the wild landscapes of northern Scotland. I build on direct observation, memories and intuition to explore the relationship between landscape and emotion. My expressive paintings invite the viewer to reflect on their own experiences and emotional connection to these precious places.
I have always been passionate about the natural world and initially studied ecology at University, leading to 30 years of work as a research scientist. I retired early from this career in 2019 and subsequently completed the Portfolio course at Bridge House Art in Ullapool in 2021. I now spend my time out in the field or in my studio. I have exhibited in galleries across Scotland and have had pieces selected for annual shows of the Royal Scottish Society of Painters in Watercolour in Edinburgh, the Royal Watercolour Society in London and the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolour in London.
