I have travelled and painted in many beautiful parts of the world, but the north of Scotland has a unique atmosphere and breathtaking light that plays on the land and water. I paint mainly in oils, using a vibrant palette and strong textures to try to convey the emotions that the landscape evokes in me. I often paint and sketch outdoors with the help of two enthusiastic spaniels. I am based at WASPS studios in Inverness and sell my work at galleries around the country.
