Artist statement
I am excited to join NEOS for the first time. I paint in acrylic and enjoy bringing bold colour, texture, and tone to the forefront. Subjects that inspire me include single flower heads which I photograph whilst out walking, Paisley patterns from a variety of fabrics, and abstract compositions created from Indian style tapestries.
Extended Bio
I was a middle school art teacher for a number of years in Staffordshire. After moving to North East Scotland three years ago I have continued to embrace my creativity. I have completed commissions for local residents and my Facebook page followers. I enjoy collaborating with the Museum of Banff to produce illustrations and art work when needed, and help with displays. In addition to my painting, I enjoy silversmithing, knitting, and making jewellery and decorations.
