Artist Biography
The inspiration for my paintings comes from my adoration of old ladies. During my childhood I was surrounded by these matriarchal figures. Formidable ladies not to be messed with - yet kind, generous and very humorous. Strangely, the males out-with my immediate family don't trigger many memories. These males were often overshadowed by their impressive wives.
Whatever was happening in their, at times, difficult lives, very rarely did you see these ladies with a curl out of place or without their vibrant coloured lipstick. I always try to incorporate both these components in my work.
It all started as a child. An elderly neighbour asked me to paint a portrait of her. I was absolutely delighted. At the grand old age of 4, I had received my first commission. I proudly presented the picture to her in exchange for a strawberry tart and informed her that the painting was entitled 'Lipstick on your teeth'. Since that day she never had lipstick on her teeth again. Shame really.
The youngest of 5, I was fortunate to be born and raised in the West End of Glasgow. As children we were always encouraged to draw and paint. Money was tight so we were allowed to 'deface' the tiled fireplace in our kitchen on a daily basis - sort of like a whiteboard, with the added bonus of getting a heat at the same time.
Most of my formative years were spent shadowing my sister at Glasgow School of Art. Whilst she was developing work for her degree show, I too at the age of 13 was creating my own 'degree show'. Keen to make a living straight away after leaving school I got a job in Advertising, again lucky to be in a creative environment surrounded by creative minds. After many years in Advertising, I made the decision to become a full time artist. Although I now live in Edinburgh I still have a soft spot for Glasgow.
My use of vibrant, carnival-like colours contrast against the shades of grey that were characteristic of my childhood in Glasgow at the time. I want to represent these upbeat, colourful personalities as I remember them and perhaps trigger memories of the larger-than-life characters from your own childhood. Thankfully these characters are still with us today.
