I have lived in East Lothian for 20 years. A great deal of my work is inspired by the astonishing woodland and ponds of the Gosford Estate where I am lucky enough to live. Most of my work is semi abstract and concerns trees though I love to paint landscapes with lots of light and weather!

I trained at Glasgow School of Art in the early 70s after which I focussed on music and working in art therapy. Eventually I trained in Social Work. I came back to painting and drawing with real enthusiasm and joy about 20 years ago and that is still happening l am delighted to say!

I work in acrylic, ink, charcoal, oil and often draw with home made goose quill pens. I am delighted to be part of the Aberlady open studios project and to meet fellow artists!
