When I was seven, I drew a picture of Kate Bush playing the piano (yes, that does reveal my vintage). My lovely mum secretly entered it into a Blue Peter competition, and to my delight, I received a bookmark and the holy grail of childhood treasures: a Blue Peter badge.

 

Then… nothing. For decades, not a doodle. Until one day, a friend coaxed me into a local art class—and something woke up. I dove in head-first, as I tend to with creative things, and haven’t come up for air since. I’m proudly self-taught and a relentless art sponge.

 

These days, I juggle painting, writing, and voice acting—though let’s be honest, art has very much elbowed its way to the front.

 

My work is rooted in the wild beauty of Scotland—windswept coastlines, brooding skies, and the occasional sheep with attitude. I’m especially drawn to the Isle of Skye, where the weather changes as fast as the light, and every walk sparks another painting. Each piece is hand-painted and uniquely mine: atmospheric, expressive, and full of story.

​

As of 2025, I have begun working primarily on square 40x40cm canvases; a format that's become central to my practice and sense of balance.

 

I hope you enjoy exploring this windswept corner of my world.
