I have been studying painting and drawing for a number of years. I have attended courses provided by both Aberdeen College and Whitespace. This follows a gap of several decades away from formal tuition.

I enjoy working in various media including acrylics, watercolour, and pen and ink, the latter often combined with watercolour washes.

I particularly enjoy painting the landscape of my native North East Scotland, whether depicting the natural environment or town-scapes.

I’ve shown my work in exhibitions organised by the Forecourt Art Group, in Aberdeen, Fyvie and Peterculter, and currently have a painting in an exhibition at a local oil company’s headquarters in Aberdeen.

In September 2009 my picture, Gamrie – Looking to Crovie  (in the gallery below) was a prize-winner at the New Pitsligo Visual Arts Exhibition.
