Here you can find out a bit about what I have been doing in my arty life and sometimes see news about where you can see my work.
Developing Tenacity
4 years ago I started acrylic painting. I had been doing drawing and a bit of oil painting up till then but it was a weekend hobby at that point. I started doing daily walks during lockdown in spring 2020, and they initiated the inspiration for the works that have followed in terms of most of the paintings since discovering that acrylic painting was my thing. In May 2024 I’m doing an exhibition with my friends Elisabeth Grant and Pascale Steenkiste called Life in Colour. Its taking place on 24-26th May at Nicolls, Glasgow. It will include some of my work from the last four years, except for the recent Fireweed series.
New season, new work
I am always inspired by the seasons but mid-April to early June is my favourite time of year. Everything growing and expanding and becoming colourful. Its a joyous time and it makes me want to make lots of new things with abandon.
