Richmond from Ham Painting

I grew up in Aberdeen, Scotland, where I recently returned to live. I studied at Edinburgh University and Edinburgh College of Art in the 80s. I travel extensively for painting, including North Africa, Latin America and the USA. I spent almost twenty years in Brazil. I work in oils on a small scale. I paint plein air- working directly from my subjects- usually landscapes or architecture, but occasionally still lives or portraits. I carry these wet paintings in cardboard carriers: many people like to use these to display the paintings. Some of these carriers can be seen in the portfolio. In 2002 I won the Dedalo Award, and In 2016, I won the Anne Redpath Painting Award for a painting exhibited at the Royal Scottish Academy.
