As a child I loved to draw family, friends and animals close to me. I also liked making things out of paper and fabric.
I went to Edinburgh Art school to study Drawing and Painting and later to Byam Shaw School of art in London for post grarduate studies, drawing and painting from the figure, and also exploring more abstract themes..

After art school I moved away from figurative painting towards more abstract images; becoming more interested in the felt sense of my inner world of feelings and emotions, and the play between movement and stillness, and darkness and light.

When my children were young for some years I worked as a portrait painter.
My daughter and son often became the subject matter for my work.
Moving from London back to Scotland in 1995 I started to paint seascapes inspired by holidays on the west coast of Scotland.
Living and working in Glasgow I was inspired to paint streets and parks I knew well.
I focused on abstract themes for an exhibition in 2014.
After this I largely took a break from making art for about 6 years.
In 2020 I started working on paper using watercolour and acrylics paint and making the painted collages featured on this website.
More recently I am also painting on canvas and wooden panels.
