I am mostly self taught. I work mostly in oils and occasionally with other mediums. I am very much inspired by the landscape of the place I have chosen to live in, the Highlands of Scotland where I have lived for 36 years. I often travel to the far north of the Highlands to get inspiration for my work. I love wild remote places with their boglands, wetlands, lochs, wildlife and mountains of Sutherland and Caithness. My favourite is the Flow Country. I also travel to Orkney and Westray on occasion to get inspiration. I work from home in my small studio on the top floor of my house where I can see across to the Monadliath Mountains from my window. A delightful and inspiring view.
