A few years ago, I moved back to my native Shetland after many years elsewhere - initially London, then Suffolk and Europe. I spent a decade in Australia where the huge skies, expansive vista and time with indigenous artists have had great impact on my work. Learning about the Scottish ancestry of many South Australian pioneers has led to a series of paintings depicting the stoicism of Shetland women during hardship. More recently, I have been inspired by the equally enduring Arab women. My work is continually changing - its themes and images are influenced by all these factors.
