SCOTLAND

Art has been my love and inspiration since I was a child.

I was born in Glasgow, Scotland, and later raised in Aberdeen, on the Northeast coast.

There, I was accepted into Grays School of Art at the age of 17. The course encompassed many disciplines including drawing and painting. After graduating from Grays in 1979, I spent a year in the city of Edinburgh, working on a series of etchings inspired by the facades and roof tops of historical Edinburgh. These etchings sold in Heals of London, which marked the beginning of my art career.

Upon my return to Aberdeen, I began painting the beautiful countryside of castles, hills and lochs and held many exhibitions in Fine Art Galleries throughout Scotland.

 

AMERICA

In the year 2000, I relocated to Nevada, USA and I was inspired by my new surroundings of high desert mountains and vast sage covered landscapes. I am drawn to the open spaces which provide a dramatic backdrop to my paintings of horses, cowboys, and wildlife.

 

My work is shown in galleries in Nevada and Utah, and at juried fine art shows throughout the Northwest. 

​

With my paintings, I strive to capture and evoke a sense of romantic history.
