I’m an impressionist! I want to record and share my enjoyment of what I see around me. I enjoy the physicality of painting and the calm concentration involved.
Why do you paint?
My garden and the fascinating land and seascapes of the North East of Scotland. I have lived here for almost my whole life.
What’s your inspiration?
Usually, a mixture of acrylics and pastels. I love texture and use everything from tissue paper to ready-mixed plaster to prepare my canvasses.
Which media do you prefer?
Not all of them. The larger pieces, on canvas, are not because you may prefer a different style of framing and the weight of a frame adds considerably to your shipping costs! Even a large canvas can be unstretched, rolled and shipped much less expensively if you prefer to have it framed yourself.
Are your pieces framed?
Yes. Contact me for details.
Do you accept commissions?
I stick to a formula based on the size of the piece and the amount of work involved.
How do you price your paintings?
