I like to respond to the mood, light and rhythmn  of a landscape, whether this is coastal or inland, I enjoy working by the sea, harking back to my childhood on the Isle of Arran.  More and more I prefer to make my work in the landscape, being driven by the weather conditions.  Recent trips to Dartmoor have proved very inspirationl.

I graduated from Gray's School of Art in Aberdeen (BA Hons Fine Art) and after working instead of painting, I now paint full time.  I exhibit my work in Somerset where I live.
