Biography
After gaining a Diploma in Textile Design in the 1970's at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art, Dundee,I started painting. Living in various countries and meeting people of different nationalities has been a huge influence on my outlook on life and art. I enjoy painting many subjects using different techniques and mediums. Having settled in Wiltshire in September 2009,I'm enjoying getting involved in the local art scene. I am a member of the Winterslow art group, the Wallop artists, "Artlook" and the Guild of Aviation artists.
