Before I met Fred I travelled a great deal to northern countries, particularly Iceland, Greenland and the Faroe Islands.
Later I began to discover Scotland, where I have lived for many years. I particularly enjoyed visiting some of the smaller islands, and I met Fred on a visit to the Isle of Eigg. It was there that I first became interested in seashells and made a collection of what I had found. Later I also began to collect shells from other parts of Britain, and a few years ago I visited Crete, which gave me an interest in shells of the Mediterranean.
It was on Eigg that I took up painting and drawing. I have exhibited my own paintings and drawings successfully, including a solo exhibition, and undertaken several commissions. I amalsoa member of the UK Coloured Pencil Society
