My paintings are based on photographs I have taken when observing nature and capturing the atmosphere of the moment. I love the power of the sea crashing against rocks and in contrast, the seas tranquillity blending into the sand. I am also inspired by the sheer beauty created in changing light and mood. I paint in acrylic, oil and watercolour, mostly seascapes and landscapes of my favourite places on the west coast/islands of Scotland, the beautiful Scottish Borders, and Lanzarote. I also love puffins, especially their vivid colours and watching their behaviour. I have originals and prints are from my original paintings.
