Originally from Carnoustie in Angus, I relocated to rural Northumberland in 2003. I live in the hamlet of Lanehead in Tarset with my husband Chris, and our dogs, George and Dave. We are fortunate enough to be surrounded by stunning landscapes and abundant wildlife, all underneath the dark skies of Northumberland National Park. This is the inspiration for my work. I am particularly drawn to hares, fascinated by the mystery and folklore that surrounds them.
I am a self taught printmaker working from a small studio at home. I’m also a studio member of Northern Print in Newcastle, where I enjoy printing with their antique Albion printing press.
I mainly produce linocut prints, working with traditional linoleum and specialist carving tools. Each design is hand carved and handprinted onto relief printmaking paper, my favourite being Nepalese Lokta.
My final fair of 2026 will be on Sunday 18th October in Lesbury Village Hall, near Alnwick. I am always happy to join the talented bunch at Northern Artisans Market. It is a fair full to the brim with excellence in art and design.
I am delighted to be exhibiting for the first time at Number Four Gallery, St Abbs. I am busy framing work to drop off in time for the Winter Show preview weekend on the 7th - 8th November.
