In the midst of melancholy and solitude painting began as a release of my being.

An unloading of my spirit. Now an endless road leads me in a landscape of changing companions. Children brought to life by a selfless passion, a burning energy driving me to alight the dark womb of Mother Earth with all my nascent babes one by one into infinity.

My paintings, fixed neither in time and place, invite the viewer into a continuous and ever-changing journey or discourse, like companions with fluctuating moods.

I approach and experience the act of painting or drawing as a poetic gestation and my pictures are open poems.

My artistic journey and opportunities for exhibitions flourished in encounters with kindred free spirits like artist George Wyllie and George Melly, and the valuable support of Professor Adele Patrick, a founder of the Glasgow Women’s Library.
