I’m a Glasgow School of Art graduate; ceramics, but I haven’t gotten my hands muddy for some time now. I spent most of the 1980’s as a knitwear designer, mainly exporting to the US from my studio and shop in Glasgow. Since then I’ve been a Principal Art teacher in several secondary schools in Glasgow. I still enjoy designing and selling Artwear and most recently I’ve been painting.
Essentially a craftsperson, I really enjoy the actual painting process, and I suspect my design background is evident in my approach to composition, colour and surface texture. I have always loved the ’seaside’ and in particular the contrast of textures found around the shore….sand, grasses, rocks, natural & man-made structures….and this is the inspiration for my current work.
