I grew up in Africa on a farm in a remote area, and came to love all things alive. I trained as a nurse, later retrained as a teacher of English and Latin, then retrained as a priest. I ministered for 20 years in Scotland in country parishes, and am now retired in Dunoon, where I still help out a bit in my church. I have always painted, and have attended a wide range of courses -perhaps the culmination being Botanical Illustration at the Edinburgh Royal Botanical Gardens. I am increasingly in awe of the wonder of the earth – the plants, the rocks, the sea treasures, the sounds, the swirl of water, the change in seasons and find myself loving the hours spent in detailed work. It is a kind of meditation, a path into the vastness that underlies all.
Some of my specifically spiritual paintings will be available to view.
I lead the Thursday morning art sessions at the Dunoon Burgh Hall and am happy to lead workshops on demand. I also run art lessons from my studio at home. My Air BnB (Gramercy) is available for art or spiritual retreats.
Prints and cards are available for most of the images on this site. Do enquire.
