The stunning scenery of Scotland, especially the Highlands, inspires much of my work. When I had the chance to paint another sculpture for the Eye trail and found the subjects was farm animals and that there was a Highland cow, it felt like fate. Having spent years working with children in art, I now enjoy dedicating more time to exploring painting techniques and expressing my creativity.The stunning scenery of Scotland, especially the Highlands, inspires much of my work.
