Fine Artist
Location: Tomintoul

Working from drawings and sketches in paint, ink or pencil in  sketchbooks, I like to create imagery, manipulate it in PhotoShop, then  transfer it on to a selection of surfaces. Some of which have been raw materials, felt, old scraps of material, wood and often bird feathers, bones or stone. 3 dimensional pieces have been produced by casting from animal skulls in plaster or gum tape and then embellished with paint or found objects. Studies of the equine have been a strong element in my work for many years and I am often commissioned by horse owners to produce paintings or drawings.

Etching is a strong favourite of mine, having studied printmaking at Edinburgh College of Art for four years as well as painting and constructed textiles. I use these methods frequently and the Inverness Printmakers Workshop is a great facility for me. Studio work is run alongside my career as an art teacher and I often use exemplars to inspire pupils of all ages. Equine imagery is produced in smaller formats for prints and greetings cards.
