About Me

I live on a small croft on the Isle of Arran.  I am constantly inspired by the stunning lanscapes and the plants that share the island with me.  I create textile & mixed media art for exhibition.  I am a trained teacher and have worked in all sectors. I was a principal lecturer in performing arts for many years before retraining in art in my late 30s.

I grow some of my own food and also flowers & herbs that I use in my Etsy product range and my classes.  I am also a practising Buddhist and meditation teacher.   

The Still Mind Studio

The still mind studio embodies my creative practice. Drawing on my meditation practice I have created a studio practice that aims to speak to my wellbeing.  I share my practice through my classes and digital workbooks.  From time to time I offer online creative retreats where we can come together to explore a range of creative journeys that ease our minds.
