My work explores the sea in oil and watercolour, trying to capture its movement & emotion; awarded SABA prize at the RSW Exhibition 2026.
Yewtree Studio is a friendly, welcoming space in Dunoon, Argyll, where we create original paintings in oil, watercolour and ink. Alongside our own work, we run art workshops, studio sessions and small creative retreats for people who want to spend time making, learning and enjoying the process.
We also offer accommodation in our Art House, so you can stay for a while, slow down, and properly immerse yourself in a creative break—with the beautiful Argyll landscape and coastline just a short distance away.
I share the studio with Anthea Gage, President of the Royal Scottish Society of Painters in Watercolour. Between us, we paint, take on commissions, and teach individuals and small groups in an informal, supportive setting.
It’s a space where there’s always a kettle on, plenty of chat, and a lot of laughter alongside the work. You’d be very welcome to come and visit. There might also be cake…
