About
Welcome to my website!
I paint in watercolour, oils & mixed media. I am passionate about nature & the environment, which provide the inspiration for everything I do. Many of my paintings incorporate natural materials such as sand & imprints of seashells, leaves or pine needles. Scottish beaches, woods, plants & insects provide limitless ideas for paintings, & I am currently exploring ways of increasing the connection between specific location & emotional response in my work. I enjoy finding a balance between control & letting pigment & water/mediums ‘find their own way’.
Born & brought up in Yorkshire, I now live in Abernethy, near Perth, Scotland. I am largely self-taught in painting, having studied Art History at Clare College, Cambridge University & gained a masters degree in Museum & Gallery studies from St Andrews University. I now work from a WASPS studio at the Steeple in Newburgh.
