I am a painter and wanderer based in Scotland. When left unattended, I sneak off to the mountains to sketch snowdrifts and ptarmigans or scramble down sea cliffs to stand in the waves with a brush and ink bottle.

The wild places of Scotland and the North call to me as a visual artist and I fill my sketchbooks with tall tales and adventure sketches. I explore landscapes and record my experiences ‘plein air’, highlighting the importance of exploring our wild places safely, with consideration to who we share the land with and our impact on it. I work with what I can carry and what can survive the weather!—oils for dreich days by windswept shores, inks and watercolours for those rare, glorious hours of sunshine.
 

My recent work has delved a little deeper into capturing the power and impact of weather and wave, obsessing over movement, light and colour, and becoming part of the movement.
 

In 2025, I was shortlisted for the Scottish Landscape Awards and accepted to the Royal Birmingham Society of Artists Watercolour Prize Exhibition. I was awarded a VACMA Early Career Bursary to undertake a printmaking course and, in January, was interviewed while hiking up Morven (the hill) by BBC Radio Scotland for their Scotland Outdoors Podcast.
