I am a graduate of Edinburgh College of Art (BA Hons in Drawing and Painting 1982).  I won an Elizabeth Greenshield travelling scholarship for artists and travelled throughout North India and Nepal following graduation. I have recently returned to my art – my first passion – following retiral from a long career in a Scottish university.  I reside just outside Edinburgh.

As a follower of the realist tradition in painting, my work is inspired by nature, often focused on the small things of life – those things that most often go unnoticed but are to me beautiful in their own unique way.  If it isn’t beautiful to my eye I won’t paint it.

I have works in private collections in the UK and France.
