I’m a Painter and Creative Mentor and I love all things colourful! My passion is to teach and experimenting with new, exciting techniques, using unusual materials and pushing creative and technological boundaries.
I was born in Dumfries, Scotland, but raised in the remote and picturesque town of Stornoway in the Western Isles. I have been fortunate to live all over Europe and further abroad, and am now happy to call Australia my home.
What’s my inspiration?
Anything and everything to do with nature, colour
A little about my journey as an artist…
I received formal training in Islington, London, under the mentorship of Jocasta Innes, who founded the UK National ‘Paint Magic’ franchise. I studied Interior Design and Painting, and it was here that I became hooked on the magic of Stencil, Stucco, Marble, Trompe l’oeil and Furniture Painting. I soon became obsessed with colour and interior design! I then trained in Australia under Coco Republic, and have exhibited works in Central Coast, NSW, Sydney and Melbourne and I also create private commissions.
I am following my passion and am lucky to own my own Commercial Gallery & Creative Studios In The Hunter Valley NSW and curate works by a growing number of talented artists.
