I am inspired by the colours and light of Scotland, and love nothing more than being out in the landscape with a big sketchbook, some charcoal and watercolours. Perched on the rock by the shore, or on a heathery hillside, I delight in trying to capture the changing scenes around me.  I work mainly in watercolours, although recent work has been developed using acrylics and mixed media. I also enjoy the simplicity and immediacy of lino-printing, which lends itself to the rendering of buildings and simple natural forms and patterns.
