| In Scotland it rains twice a week. From monday to thursday and then from friday to sunday. Which means that I had a lot of time indoors to study Art and Design. |
| I lived in Edinburgh and attended Edinburgh College of Art from 1988 untill 1993 in which time I did numerous exhibitions and was lucky enough to win a few awards too! |

| After graduating I married and moved to Germany, where I kept my profession as a hobby, working between moving houses, learning German and two demanding children. Now that the monsters...oops! I mean children are older I would like to concentrate more on my work. Drawing and painting has always brought me a lot of satisfaction whether it was a portrait or landscape, pencil or paints, I have come to realise that it is a very important part of who I am. What I never expected, was the enjoyment that I get from teaching like-minded people who have started to attend my Art courses.It is a real pleasure to help develope peoples artistic talents and watch them create peices of art that they never thought they could. |
