*Currently working in my studio on a new collection of oil mountainscapes*

 

All my work is completely original!

 

I try not to comply to expectations with my work.

 

A professional artist for over 15 years originally exhibiting for 5 years at the Northern Lights Gallery in the Lake District now represented by The Old Bakery in Newton Stewart and The Artist at Burfords Antiques, Castle Douglas.

​

I am based near the artists town of Kirkcudbright, Dumfries in Galloway after living in Cumbria for over 30 years.

 

My work is a collection of Lake District scenes, Scottish landscapes, seascapes, florals and abstracts.

 

I gather my inspiration from 30 years living in Cumbria, my home is now near the Galloway coast and my love of exploring and playing with texture, tone and composition. 

​

It is not a wish to be different or even to stand out or simply to produce something desirable. It is a deep yearning to create, to be true to my mind’s eye, translating the landscape as I perceive it, telling a story of the land, sea and sky using colour, texture, form and depth, rather as if it were words in my journal.

​

I would describe much of my work as truly transcendent and other-worldly.  Exposing and exploring a deep semi-conscious method of communicating with the landscape. My work enables me to translate my journey and visions without the use of words, instead choosing the brush as my narrative tool. I offer an intuitive creative explanation of the distance and landscape surrounding her, challenging the confines and limitations of the eye and mind”.

 

Since 2012 I have collaborated in many C-Art, Evan, Proseed and other local exhibitions and art trails in Cumbria and Dumfries and Galloway.

 

I have created and been part of many solo and collaborative exhibitions across the UK.
