As many of your will know, it's been the start of a new chapter for me as I moved from Aberdeen back to Glasgow in April this year. I haven't lived in Glasgow since 2007, but returning to be closer to family here has definitely felt like a homecoming and I'm loving getting to know my new location in the Southside.

See my work this summer:

I always have good intentions to create quarterly blogs and email updates, but life gets in the way and so here I am once again reflecting on a year which has ended!

Exhibitions and Awards

As we come to the close of January, I've had time to reflect on my 2022. I now realise that (despite disappointment with things not going quite as planned!) the year has seen great progress for me as an artist.

Below are my highlights and a little hint at some exciting things to come in 2023....

I spent days out and about in locations around Aberdeen assisting with the Mobile Art School project. Taking art to the streets, we engaged passers by in sculpture, imagining new futures for the city, screen printing, ceramics and drawing experiences.

What an absolute rush having your work in a show is!

Missing 2020's end of year show due to Covid made this first opportunity to exhibit my work all the more special. Anticipation built as we made finishing touches, selected works with our tutors and considered how pieces would be hung. Those of you who know me well may not be surprised to hear that I was still pushing to get pieces ready right up to the last minute - but I got there!
