While working in the NHS I always spent every spare moment creating. Now retired, my painting has taken off in new directions. My Scottish upbringing sealed my preference for an abstract colourist approach.

Usually landscape is the starting point of my work but through abstraction each painting is encouraged to stand for itself, reflecting the mood of the subject. Often collage is combined with mixed media, working in layers over previous work. Colour, texture and forms appear giving complexity to simple shapes.

In 2018 I was selected to become a member of Wessex Contemporary Artists.
