I won a bursary with the Mall Galleries in London where I spent an opportunity with other artists painting birds around East Lothian in Scotland. I also exhibited in the Mall galleries.

Prince Charles Dumfries House residency
I won an end of year award from Leith School of Art. The award was a residency place for a few weeks at Dumfries House in Ayrshire, which is run by one of Prince Charles’ charities to promote the arts. I then gifted the house a painting in return.

Biography
I've always created art and from a young age decided that I was going to be an artist. I love nature, atmosphere and colour and how the paint can be manipulated in different ways. I often visit a location many times before I paint it - this is so I can get an emotional connection and feeling from the place which I can translate into my art.
