I have immersed myself in art throughout my life. After my two children became independent, I studied for the City & Guilds Certificate in Stitched Textiles, and then went on to graduate from Edinburgh College of Art. I have developed an individual style, working in both large scale acrylics and machine and hand stitched embroidery landscapes. I am drawn to the seam loving time out sketching in the elements. The islands of Scotland and my home in Fife are dominant influences.
