Studied Art History at the University of Aberdeen, Scotland. Formed an appreciation for the Scottish Artists, Van Gogh and The Impressionists. Worked at Bonham’s auctioneers and in Valuations at Sotheby’s. Have been enjoying painting mainly in oils on canvas and gained a Travel Award allowing me to spend time in Florence where I took inspiration for a series of paintings, including the city-scape I am entering for the Chianciano Biennale 2026.
