My Journal

The Summer Exhibitions are well under way:)

I'm at day 90 of #The100dayproject 2026 ...although I'm slightly out of step this year! It doesn't help that I started at the wrong time and there have been many distractions preventing me from doing a daily sketch but I'm determined to make it to the end:) Only ten sketches to go!

During the summer of 2023 Resipole Studios hosted the first solo exhibition of my work. MARA brought together a collection of landscape paintings inspired by the west coast of Scotland and it was amazing to see my work fill one of the gallery spaces. It was a little bit daunting too, because each painting represented a very personal interpretation of, and an emotional reaction to the landscape.

The Spring Show opened at Resipole Studios on Saturday 6th April, and I’m thrilled, as always, to have some new work in the exhibition. Here are the five paintings… inspired by the land and the sea where I live and from the journeys I make by boat to the Outer Hebrides every sailing season.
