I grew up in the rural landscapes of Dumfries and Galloway, where I often accompanied my father as he worked on local farms. The idyllic Scottish coastal scenery, with its rolling hills, glens, and abundant wildlife, has always been a significant influence on my art. However, it's the vibrant beauty and intense colours of my grandmother's garden that most deeply resonate in my work today. The memories of tending her garden are ever-present as I paint, reminding me of those cherished moments.

​

Art has been my passionate pursuit since childhood, providing a creative outlet through my school years and sustaining me throughout university as I pursued a career in nursing. Over the years, I've explored various styles and techniques, but I now primarily work with acrylics, often incorporating mixed media. You might notice touches of glitter in my pieces, adding a unique sparkle to my creations.

​

I love using texture to bring depth to my landscapes, while my signature "flicking paint" technique captures the chaotic beauty of wild grasses and flowers—a picturesque pandemonium. Acrylics bring out the richness in colours and shapes, especially in my floral compositions, adding a dynamic vibrancy to each piece.

​

My eventual move to Devon gave me the opportunity to define my self as an artist, helping me realise my ambition for art to be a way of life for me.

 

I feel incredibly fortunate to create new artwork almost every day, turning my passion into a way of life. I work closely with private clients on commissioned pieces, bringing their visions to life with personalised art. In addition to private commissions, I also enjoy working on a commercial level, collaborating with clients to develop designs and working from detailed briefs.
