I am an artist and illustrator living on the Black Isle in the north east of Scotland. I grew up not too far away in Dornoch but escaped to Glasgow as soon as I could where I studied illustration at Glasgow School of Art. Since moving back up north I’ve enjoyed painting the picturesque Highland towns and villages. I also love picture books and hope to write and illustrate some of my own one day.
