Background
Here is a bit more information on me....
I grew up in Wanlockhead, a small village in the Lowther Hills of Dumfries and Galloway.
I remember there being a very strong sense of community there, small as it was.
Due to its location it was at times very exposed to and at the mercy of wild winters and there were power cuts and times of isolation, when the roads were closed, to me this meant many things including adventure and isolation...and a particular importance, investment and identity surrounding the home....I can remember the magic and wonder of playing at my Grans house.....climbing up the ladder to the attic, playing with her numerous boxes of trinkets that she loved to hoard....these memories are vey special to me.
My childhood is a huge source of inspiration for me.
When I left home, I got a degree in Interior Design at Edinburgh College of Art and then went on to train as an art therapist.
