I am a professional artist, based on the outskirts of the quiet rural village of Tynron, in South West Scotland.

Born in Fraserburgh, Aberdeenshire, I spent most of my childhood and adult life in Grangemouth. I travelled extensively, living in the Middle East for a number of years. This is when I started to paint seriously. On my return to the UK I settled in Marlow, Buckinghamshire, where I lived for sixteen years. While there I studied Fine Art at college and gained an HND Fine Art and BA (Hons) Fine Art Practice. I taught watercolour painting to Adult Education classes and private workshops.

I think my greatest influences were JMW Turner, the Glasgow Boys, the Scottish Colourists, and more recently the Scottish painters Ethel Walker and John Lowrie Morrison influenced me in experimenting with colour. I like to paint in watercolour for landscapes, pastel for flowers and oils for still life and landscapes.

I hope you enjoy looking through my website. I have strived to include an interesting variety of works throughout, and hope you find something to inspire you, to appeal to you, or even make you consider coming along to one of my tutorial classes.
