meet the artist

I was born in Stirling, Scotland where I developed a lifelong love of Art, and graduated from The Glasgow School of Art with a degree in Fine Art. After studying Education, I taught all ages.

 

In 1987 I moved with my family to beautiful Chester County where I continued to teach art in Downingtown, sharing my passion with another generation of students.

 

The God-given beauty around me continually captivates my creative energy. Nature is a constant source of inspiration, be it the hedgerows of a field or the majestic drama of the Highlands. I find inspiration in Scottish landscapes and the natural beauty of Chester County and I love the effects created by the light on the land and the sea.

 

I work intuitively across a variety of media, including acrylics, watercolors, and fiber art, the latter having been studied in-depth at The Glasgow School of Art.

 

I am a signature member of the Philadelphia Watercolor Society and a member of the Artists Circle, with whom I exhibit on a regular basis. I also exhibit at The Yellow Springs Art Show, Chester County.
