Painter, born in Glasgow. She studied drawing and painting at the School of Art there, 1976–80, her teachers including David Donaldson and Duncan Shanks. Won a scholarship to Patrick Allan-Fraser School of Art at Hospitalfield, Arbroath, and studied in Italy. A strong influence on her work was that of the Scottish Colourists, notably J D Fergusson, with their liking for sensuous handling of paint and emphasis on light and shade and rich colours. She travelled extensively in Europe and America and had studios in Glasgow and Athens. Showed widely in Europe and America and was regularly on exhibition at Main Fine Art, Glasgow. Warwick Arts Trust, Bank of Ireland, Allied Irish Bank, Robert Fleming Holdings and Scottish Arts Council are some owners of her work.
