BIOGRAPHY
I wanted to be an artist for as long as I can remember. On recalling my childhood it seems I was always drawing and painting. At the age of 11 I was allowed to paint a mural on our bathroom wall of a big lady wearing a red swimsuit dancing along a beach.
In 1986 I graduated from Leeds Metropolitan University with a degree in graphic design and worked for a number of years there as a graphic designer and illustrator before returning to Edinburgh to start a family. I have had various jobs and now work night-shift part time which allows me to paint avidly every day.
I like to draw on my imagination and find much of my inspiration for paintings in the humour, sadness, love and quirkiness observed in everyday life.
