My art is inspired by my love of nature, particularly British birds and mammals. I want to convey that sense of excitement felt when spotting an animal in the wild. I specialize in linocut prints as I like using bold colour and line and compositions with an abstract quality. Many of my prints have appeared in books published by Mascot Media Ltd, and greetings cards and calendars published by Green Pebble. I have a long running collaboration with Incline Press which has published several of my books. My prints have been exhibited in galleries and exhibitions locally and nationally.

I have always led a creative life. Despite taking an art degree specialising in ceramics with textiles, it is paint that has become my preferred medium.
Colour, pattern and shape have always been integral to my work as I search for something new. Inspirational themes will often be a memory of a place, a holiday or a walk. There is a love of Scottish croft houses, hills, the abundance of wildflowers on a coastal path, ceramic vases and the effect of a floral display. These may be real or imagined from which I aim to create an uplifting image.
The beginning of a new work starts with an explosion of colour on the surface before finer details are applied, allowing layers beneath to show through. Never knowing the outcome of a painting at the start, it is exciting to see where the process takes me.
As well as painting in our little garden studio which I share with my printmaker husband, I also teach art to primary aged children locally.
