Welcome to my site!

Thank you for your interest in my work, I hope you enjoy what you see!

I work predominantly in Acrylics, tending to mix my palette as I work on the canvas.
My paintings are contemporary land and seascapes, favouring dramatic skies.
These have been described as emotive and atmospheric, with Scottish overtones.

Although accepted for Dundee School of Art in 1981, I opted to take a job with a large law firm instead, only returning to my painting years later. 

Growing up on Glasgows Southside, and working in the city centre, I had been surrounded by high rise buildings and city living, so when I moved to the Isle of Bute in 1999, commuting by ferry every day, I was presented with quite an immersive contrast of sea, land and coastal views. I was hooked. The emotions and influence of these continue to surface in my work 

Later in life I attended part time classes at Glasgow School of Art and Strathclyde University, in addition to specialist artists workshops, I am generally self taught experimenting with lessons learned at all of these.

Now living back in Glasgow, I paint from home.  

I offer some signed limited edition prints alongside a range of art cards and open edition prints of some of my images.

My silhouette work can be personalised from your photos and I accept commissions incorporating images of your choosing. Drop me an email to discuss your budget, size, colour schemes and photo specifications. Commissions are an inclusive process and I aim to make them as much of your own input as possible.

For prices/availability/general enquiries on commissions, cards, prints, mugs coasters, cushions etc. drop me a message on social media or email through this site.
