A bit about my creative history : I graduated from Gray’s School of Art in 2009 with a BA(Hons) in Painting and again in 2010 with a Master of Fine Art. For over a decade I have been a practicing artist and a professional Creative Practitioner and I regularly exhibit and sell my fine art and associated items all over Scotland. In 2012 I achieved my life long dream of owning my own Gallery which stemmed my love of helping others explore their creative potential and has taken me to facilitating creative art and craft workshops and tuition both independently and alongside other organisations over the past decade. I work with Grampian Hospitals Art Trust on their Art Room projects - facilitating creative sessions with patients young and old in hospital settings. I also work with the charity Life With Art which hosts creative workshops with vulnerable groups in Aberdeen city centre.
