I live in Lochcarron, having moved up here about eight years ago from Edinburgh, where I'd been working as an art and craft tutor for adults in Community Education and homes for elderly people for eighteen years. Prior to this I did my BA (Hons) Fine Art Painting Degree at Duncan of Jordanstone in Dundee. I was born and brought up on the Lleyn Peninsula in north Wales, but have lived in Scotland most of my life.
