I am currently tutoring a class at Poldrate Arts and Crafts Centre, Haddington.

I will have paintings on show at The Torrance Gallery, Dundas Street Edinburgh from the 2nd week in November and at Colinton Gallery, Colinton ,Edinburgh.

'I love the drama of the changing light and the memory of space'

I am directly inspired by shapes, bursts of colour, scents and changing light. Sometimes I don’t know how the painting will turn out as the changes in light can excite a memory and take me of down a different path.

My eyes dart across the landscape looking for changes in light in the sky, on the horizon and the land. I often only have seconds to identify what connects me to the world that I see and the world that has been.

Sometimes I use my sketches and memories of the place and work back in the studio.
