I never know what they will turn out like because I may have drawn and painted her in my design but when I weave her I can’t get the detail. ![]()
This is an exciting process because in my drawing she is someone and in my tapestry she is someone else . ![]()

@societyscottishartists thank you for making me a professional member. I love the words Luke Vinnicombe and Frank To have said about professional members on the third slide. 💙 we all work so hard as artists and it’s always delightful when that is recognised. Onwards and upwards here I go ![]()

What a wonderful opportunity for me to be showing here and to be asked. Jamie noticed my work in an exhibition in Gairloch museum. Thank you Jamie and Magnus for this beautifully curated show at ‘Cold Paradise’, @coldparadiseprojects a gallery in Shieldaig between Torridon and Applecross starting on the 17th of May and running through till September. ![]()
Their approach has been described in Art Mag ( check out the article), as rooted in slowness, ecology,and thoughtful connection with place. I know you can’t get slower than handwoven tapestry in creating art so my work feels right at home. ![]()
I am exhibiting alongside @clairecansick @hugowinderlind and Jack Whitefield. ![]()

My work includes ‘The Glow’, ‘Stream Corridor’ and ‘ The Line Continues’ ![]()
