While the full range of her painting covers landscape, still lifes, portraits, self-portraits and interiors, much of her work defies such precise categorisation. She has been described as ‘one of the most vital and original figurative painters currently at work in Scotland’. Her work is represented in a large number of public and private collections. She lives and works in the Scottish Borders and Venice. | |
