Background.

I was born in Edinburgh, Scotland, and I grew up in Edinburgh, Glasgow and North London. I then attended the University of Leicester doing humanities subjects including History of Art. After this I trained and worked in Social Work related employments. I also followed various other pursuits such as research (for the York museums). I have lived off and on in both England and Scotland and I am now permanently based in Scotland. I have been involved in visual art much of my life, including part time study and some of my occupational roles however I now focus on painting and drawing
