WELCOME TO MY WEBSITE
I have been painting since I was at school (Douglas Ewart High School in Newton Stewart), more years ago than I care to think about, having been inspired by my art teachers Jack Maltman and Charles Manners. After leaving school I moved to London where other interests pushed painting to the back burner until around ten years ago when my interest was reignited. Since moving to Kirkcudbright in 1999 I have had several exhibitions, sometimes shared with friends, but mainly solo of watercolours and acrylics. I exhibit regularly at The Harbour Cottage Gallery in Kirkcudbright in the Gallery's own exhibitions and currently have a permanent exhibition of paintings and framed prints at Gordon House Hotel in Kirkcudbright as well as a few at The Masonic Arms in Gatehouse of Fleet both excellent places for a good meal. In summer 2009 and 2010 I exhibited, with friend Gabrielle Harrington, in the National Trust for Scotland's Broughton House Laundry Room for three months and return this year for the months of September and October.
Each year Kirkcudbright's studios and other venues are open to the public for the Art & Crafts Trail three day event which I take part in.
The dates for 2012 are Friday 3 August - Monday 6 August (4 days).
My new Gallery and Garden will once again be open and we will be serving tea and cakes in the Garage Tearoom. Last year we had exhibits from 16 participants.
2011/2012 events are listed later (see WHAT'S ON)
