Art to connect with your creative soul

Welcome!

Thank you for dropping by. I’m a mixed-media abstract artist from Scotland, living and working on the beautiful Isle of Cumbrae.

I create original art and archival-quality prints.

My work is for sale and can be shipped internationally.

Any questions? Let’s talk!

‘Put yourself into your art …

… they said. ‘And people will connect with it.’ So this flawed, messy, sensitive, complicated, detailed, structured, over-delivering mix of blues and greys with the occasional pops of hot colour is kinda who I am.

If you love age-worn surfaces, wild seas, blousy blue hydrangeas, windswept beaches, old jeans, cobbled streets, faded velvet, moments of synchronicity, and finding meaning and connection in everyday things … well … we're probably going to hit it off!

Another non-blue work in progress. Or maybe it's finished. I'm spectacularly good at getting stuck in the 'looking for design flaws' mindset rather than allowing myself to enjoy the new fresh limey colours in this one and just letting it be. . . . .
This weekend brought a veil of cloud over the island which cleared to reveal the clearest of skies and sea like glass. It also brought a healthy dose of studio time and a newly discovered passion for red! Happy days ... and a happy new year to you.
I've been a bit silent on here for a while. 7 months in fact - but who's counting? Well the algorithm for one so I'm expecting this little baby to get a dribble of a response if at all. But I'm fine with that. Like a tree falling in the woods I still

A wee bit about me.

I’m a Scottish abstract artist working in acrylic and mixed media. I’m a member of the Abstract’d Art Collective, Coaching Advisor for Art2Life, and Head Coach on the Creative Visionary Programme with Nicholas Wilton.

I previously ran a hypnotherapy and cognitive behavioral therapy practice working with many people including artists, musicians, performers, and writers.

I live on the Isle of Cumbrae with my husband and a very pretty, but rather annoying, cat called Scout. My work is held in collections in Canada, US, UK and UAE.
