I trained at Art College receiving a BA (Hons) Fine Art – Painting in 1980 and have recently completed my Masters of Fine Art at Gray's School of Art, Aberdeen. I enjoy teaching all levels of ability and have led painting groups at home and abroad for over ten years. While most of my time is spent painting in my studio near Kemnay, I do work with art societies around the country encouraging exploration into the possibilities of watercolour and mixed media - also workshops involving the life model. Life drawing and watercolour both have the merit of traditional discipline and contemporary innovation. I use them as a means of exploring the potential and challenges of different materials and methods.

I am passionate about outdoor sketching and I encourage this spontaneous reaction to subject by my students. I use my sketchbooks to work toward personal and resolved paintings and it is my aim as a teacher to encourage students to do the same.

My most recent work can be seen at Musa art cafe Which runs untill 1st june 2008
MUSA is at 33 Exchange Street, Aberdeen and www.musaartcafe.com : 01224 571771.
