A wee blast from the past appeared today looking through my stuff. This old photo was taken when I was about 24. I was doing an artist in residence post at the Crichton in Dumfries. Very interesting time in my early life / career.

🎨 I found this old photo today. It was me when I was doing and artist in residence in the Crichton Hospital in Dumfries. I think it was 1998/99.
I worked with patients with psychiatric Illness and also developed my own work. It was a great experience, a whole former ward as a studio.

My claim to fame is King Charles speaking to students in front of one of my old art school degree show paintings 😄. They were so big I gave them to the (new )university campus on long term loan. I wonder if they are still there!?

This was my first residency as in 2001 I went to London and did one with the Paintings in Hospitals charity! Oh the days when I was lovely and slim! 🤪

Still working on this painting. ( Although been really busy doing the admin stuff for the exhibition)

It’s quite large at 4 x 3 Ft. This would have been small in comparison to th big 6 feet painting at art school. I Will have a wee look and see if I can find some photos from those days! 😀

🎨 A wee painting from a couple of years ago which has been on my wall very fond of my girl in the flame dress. I always think she is both spiritual and vulnerable in her expression and pose.

This is a mixed media painting and professionally framed. I am selling some of my work so if you are interested pm me to let me know. Although I would miss her.greatly She is £290. Free local delivery. Although really priceless to me.
