About the artist

Painting from inside the coast

Based in Edinburgh, I paint the Scottish coast from the water's edge and from within it - its light, its harbours and the people who are drawn to it.

My work explores belonging and a sense of place through shared experience rather than spectacle.

  • "Just to say how excited I am to have discovered your work. I LOVE coastal rowing and would love one of your works of a skiff someday."

  • "Sunshine, colour and happiness would be a painting of yours on my wall"

  • Elspeth was very thoughtful and a pleasure to deal with. I am delighted with the two paintings and would have no hesitation in recommending this site.

"Collected by people who love the coast"

Collectors often choose a painting because they reflect somewhere meaningful to them - a ahrbour they know, a beach remembered or simply the feeling of being near the water.

Many begin with one piece and then return as the story continues.
