Artists Statement
I have always been inspired by my immediate environment, especially the wildlife. A keen gardener, plants provide a source of inspiration too. I have a very soft spot for cats and chickens which have featured in my work over the years. Shetland has wildlife in abundance. The ever changing weather and shoreline present a wealth of subject matter.
As a painter I work in watercolour or acrylic. I also create mixed media pieces using wax crayon and watercolour. My printmaking encompasses etching and linocuts.
Previously a part time tutor in adult education, I have taught classes in drawing and painting and workshops on lino cutting and printing.
