My work is rooted in traditional sculptural and painting techniques. Daughter of an Irish sculptor and stonemason, I was raised in a studio environment in a village near Edinburgh before attending Art Schools in Liverpool and Winchester. My studio is in rural Warwickshire where visitors are welcome by appointment.
This Blog is about my portrait work and will show some of my working methods. Currently I am focusing on portraits of women: I started with Virginia Woolf in 2020, and then Toni Morrison, cast in February 2021.
