ABOUT
“Creativity is a way of being”
Art is a passion and for me, a way of looking at the landscape and my place within it. Immersed deep in the landscape, and working directly from nature, I find line, form and features in the trees and birds of Scotland. As an itinerant artist I have created work and exhibited in the UK and abroad.

In lockdown during covid I held online art classes to help keep kids and adults creatively fulfilled. Previously I delivered art workshops including for The Travelling Gallery, Edinburgh City Council, Scottish Borders Council. Additionally I have over 10 years experience as a tree safety expert, connecting people with nature through tree climbing, safely guiding people into dangerous environments, collaborating with clients like Canopy Access, Furnace TV and BBC Studios.
