Wide teaching experience in schools, colleges and University.

Throughout my career I have exhibited work in Britain and abroad since 1960 with paintings held in both public and private collections, and continue to exhibit locally in Caithness and for major Scottish exhibitions.

Most of my work relates to the heritage of Caithness, whether Archaeological or Historical using a variety of mediums from oil, watercolour, mixed media paintings to slate collages and sculpture which explore ideas on these themes.

Since returning from living abroad in 2003 interests have led to personal archival research and the organising of 5 exhibitions relating to the work of Thomas Telford and his various engineering works in Caithness on harbours, roads, bridges, churches etc.

LIkewise the self-publishing of booklets on historical aspects of Caithness and Telfords work in particular. In 2013 I completed writing a book called - Shepherds in the Straths - which discusses the internal migration of Border Shepherds to Caithness and Sutherland in the 18/19th century, also written articles for magazines, journals, local newspapers and co-ordinated two retrospective exhibitions for fellow artists - Avisandum - , Elliot Rudie 2012, - Celebration - the late David Morrison.2012 plus the setting up of the Scottish Diaspora Tapestry Exhibition in Bergen, Norway.
