Born 2.6.60  in Aberdeen/Scotland into an artistic family.

 Emigrated in 1975 to Rhodesia (Zimbabwe). Won my first art prizes at secondary school which I left in 1977.  After 2 years working I returned to Scotland.

  I took part in a group exhibition in Edinburgh and furthered my education at Stevenson College.

 In the spring of 1981 I left for Greece where I began making a living from my art whilst doing other jobs to survive. I stayed there for 18 months and then went to France (Bordeaux area)  and stayed there for 8 months. Here I sold some artwork and got to know some painters in an artist´s village called Mornac.

 From 1983 to 1988 I lived and worked as a portrait artist on the streets of London and became a member of the “Westend Portrait Society”. At the same time I studied life drawing at St. Martin´s School of Art. , whilst learning other stuff from various professional artists. 

After a short spell in Brighton I came to Germany.   I met Ulli who helped me with my first solo exhibition and I dectded to continue my career here. This resulted in a flood of commissions and my being employed as an art teacher. Many exhibitions followed thereafter in Landsberg/lech and its surroundings, including Munich. 

In 1994 I came to Brandenburg to do artwork  for a company and ended up staying. I now live in a town  east of Berlin called Fuerstenwalde where I have my studio and own gallery. I also give weekly art lessons to children and adults.
