I’m an artist based on the island of Sanday, Orkney.
Art is a passion that I find to be the perfect canvas for me to express my deep love of nature and my love of animals. Before moving to Orkney, I worked as a Veterinary Nurse for many years, caring for small animals, and that love of furry and feathered, wild creatures and their habitats has endured ever since.
I love many forms for expressing my art: fused glass work, painting, drawing, pastels, lino-printing, anything really!
Glass art is a beautiful medium which I have been exploring over the past few years.
I combine my deep love of the natural world, whether in Orkney or further afield, with my passion for creativity using a variety of different mediums, but especially glass. As an Orkney artist, I am constantly inspired and surprised by the beauty of the ever-changing world around me, and grateful for the inspiration it provides. I am drawn towards all of nature – plants and animals alike.
