Statement

Statement

An abstract figurative artist based in Glasgow.   I explore local and personal identities and histories from a feminist perspective through the processes of painting, drawing and printmaking.

Inspired by Andrew Cranston and Helen Frankenthaler, I have explored processes which balance controlled mark making with the materiality of bleach, ink and paint.  My hope is to create layered, ambiguous images with a sense of place.

I have experience in delivering engaging art workshops for adults, children and families, and have also worked as an Art and Creativity Specialist Primary Teacher sharing my love of creativity and image making with the next generation of artists – and being inspired by them in return!

Biography

Biography

I began my professional artistic journey at Leith School of Art, attending evening classes alongside my career as a primary teacher before spending 2 years on The Painting Course before going on to Gray’s School of Art.  I have also studied at the Royal Drawing School and explored printmaking at Peacock’s print studio and Edinburgh Printmakers.

I now have a studio space in Glasgow and am a member of Glasgow Print Studio.
