A visual artist, primarily a painter, I connect with place and paint, slowly.
This years exhibitions start in March at the Whitehouse, in Kirkcudbright,
and the Wetland Centre at Caerlaverock.
Spring Fling takes place at the end of May - three full days 25, 26, & 27th.
Preparations already in hand for the transformation of Gelston Village Hall
into an open studio and welcoming gallery space for visitors.
In September, a new venue will show my work alongside textile artist
Rachel Phillimore; for a month we will be at Hallbankgate Hub, close to the
Cumberland and Northumberland border.
