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 began life at the beginning of 2022. The intention is to share my professional practice that brings together my life as an artist and my life as a meditation teacher.  In July and August (2022) I will be opening the Still Mind Studio (real and virtually) to share my practice.  The aim is to offer classes, digital workbooks and shorter tutorials that help to embed a deep relationship with the natural world immediately around us. If you are interested in joining me you can dip in and out as suits you.  The programme is beginning to emerge and can be found HERE.  I am also now offering creative mentoring sessions via zoom for individuals or small groups and more information on that can be found HERE.
