SCOTTISH CONTEMPORARY ARTIST
"Your painting makes me smile every time I look at it"
Uplift your spirits and bring a sense of calm into your home with one of my paintings. I use colour, light and a subtle sense of movement to create joyful and peaceful art for you to enjoy.
I love experimenting with materials and techniques which keeps my paintings fresh and joyful.
I have explored print-making, collage, pastels,digital art, mixed media, watercolour and acrylic painting and will often incorporate a mixture of techniques in my work.
Growing and evolving as an artist is a joyous thing.
Teaching and Inspiring
For ten years I was a lead artist with Tayside Healthcare Arts Trust, devising and leading creative courses for people with long term health conditions, such a Parkinsons, dementia and stroke.
I also ran my own creative workshops where participants were encouraged to experiment with various materials and enjoy the creative process rather than focus on the outcome.
Running these workshops and courses extremely rewarding and interesting. To see people blossom and discover their own joy in creating was an amazing experience. I was also always learning from the participants.
