My love for art became apparent at a very young age. As a child I was very rarely seen without a pencil and sketchbook in my hand.  I studied Art & Design at Gray's school of art in Aberdeen, Scotland receiving a BA (Hons) degree before immigrating to Australia in 1999 with my husband, and children. Once my youngest child became less dependent I decided it was time to reignite my passion for art and joined the Armadale Society of Artist in 2015. I have learnt so much from our wonderful friendly teachers since joining the Society and now teach weekly watercolour classes at the Art House on Tuesday afternoons as well as teaching private students and am regularly commissioned to paint animal and human portraits. I devote as much time as possible to my artwork, I especially love painting with watercolour and acrylics. I like working with texture and colour and have an affinity with nature and wildlife. I am fortunate enough to create my art from my home studio in Beautiful Bedfordale where I am surrounded by nature, wildlife and inspiration. You can see more of my art on my website or my Facebook page.
