LEITH SCHOOL OF ART SUMMERSCHOOl 2022
The Summer School “Not Just Still Life” at Leith School of Art inspired me to use different Media and techniques. The discovery of Oil Pastels was a revolution, and they lend themselves to my creative process. Something that you will see a lot of in my future work.

First commission 2021
March was a milestone in my Artwork when I received my first commission. This was for one of my Harbour abstract works. This was a strange experience knowing that someone was going to part with good money for one of your works and you wanted to do your best and not let them down. One dilemma for me to make sure I did not over work the piece.
LSA 2021 SUMMER EXHIBITION
This was my first exhibition as well as my very first piece of art that I ever sold.
It was a good feeling to come into the exhibition and see a red dot next to your work.
