biography Born in Tanganyika, East Africa to an Austrian mother and Scottish father. At the age of thirteen she came to Scotland where she schooled at Bearsden Academy.

She taught from the mid-eighties in various colleges including Falkirk College and she now concentrates on painting full time.

Inspiration 

"My main inspiration is in the Scottish land and seascape. I enjoy using colour to define contours, structure and changing light sequences. I search out specific view points. I am equally inspired by the rugged isolation of the Western Isles and the dramatic view points of the Eastern coastline. I work predominantly in oil".
