Artist Bio:

I am passionate about nature – I have been my entire life, from walking in the Lake District as a teenager to setting up a social enterprise (Instinctively Wild CIC) specialising in Forest Schools and Eco-therapy in the Scottish Borders and Lothians.

I am a nature journalist, I chronicle nature around me on a daily basis in the watercolour medium. I use my photgraphic skills to capture images and then paint the best of those images in watercolour.

I am an educator, artist and social entrepreneur.

My background over the last twenty four years has been primary school teaching, specialising in Forest Schools and Outdoor Learning.

Every day I make space for nature, trying to capture it in all its moods, whether that’s the sky, birds, plants, insects, trees or any other aspect of nature.

As John Muir said, “In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks.” This is what I strive for each day.

I am a self-taught artist.
