About Me

Hello, welcome and thank you for stepping into my home studio in Ayrshire.

I picked up a paintbrush in 2018, not long after retiring from a career that I loved but which definitely used the other side of my brain and instantly found myself hooked. I’ve always been creative - tapestry and embroidery kept me busy for years - but painting opened up a whole new world of joy and colour - and I do love colour, even in my purple and sometimes pink hair! What began as a wee experiment - a toe in the water - quickly became a passion that’s now part of my everyday life.

I love exploring different media, each with its own “personality”: I think watercolours and inks with their lightness and fluidity are just the best; but oils offer me richness and depth; and acrylics - though often frustrating can still surprise me with something wonderful. For me, painting is about experimenting, having fun and growing with every canvas.

I hope you enjoy exploring my work as much as I’ve loved creating it, and that you find something here that speaks to you. And if you’re curious about what I’m up to, check out my social media pages.
