Art, history, and historic crafts are my passion. My dream is to combine my love for Scottish history with my own artistic creations to reintroduce intagible heritage to the public. I have a strong love for all forms of creation, but right now I am focusing on drawing and painting. I also work as a weaver and darner for a historic mill, creating kilts, tartans, and blankets.

I love folklore, creating my Master's thesis and project on folklore and intangible heritage within the Cairngorms National Park. As I move forward with my work these elements are the main focus in my wider exploration of the Scottish landscape.
