Art from the seaside
I am very lucky to be based at the very pretty Irvine harbourside on the south west coast of Scotland. I am five minutes from the beach and we have the most amazing sunsets! I can see the beautiful Isle of Arran from outside my studio. ​I am now in my 28th year of working in my harbourside studio which I can't believe.
Art is all I have ever done and ever wanted to do - it has been a struggle over the years but I wouldn't have chosen any other path. I am not doing it for applause, simply because I love it and it is everything to me. I feel very fortunate to have kept on my creative journey after all these years and I still have so much to learn!
​
I have been working and developing as an artist since I graduated from Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art in 1996 and I run regular art classes for children and adults from my studio. I welcome visitors so if you walk by and see I am open please drop in - I always like a wee chat and I don't expect everyone who walks in to buy something. I'm very happy to talk about my work and encourage visitors to explore and enjoy art.
I am part of the Courtyard studios in Irvine which is a thriving community of currently 18 artists. The public are welcome to visit, pop by and see who is in!
