I am often asked to give more detail of what my work is about, to give deeper meaning, to attach it to relevant world stuff and find a connection. I walk, I draw, I remember and then I paint. The Orkney Landscape is the place that inspires me. It’s ever changing weather, it’s amazing light, … More New Season

Being invited to take part in an interview is always something that gives me the nerves! Those that know me will understand that the possibility of me saying something pretty stupid is always a possibility – I guess everyone is the same to a certain degree. Anyhow, it is always good to be involved and … More Pier Arts Centre – Art Pass Recommend

A six week workshop led by Laura Drever, delivered to Young Adults, in partnership with The Connect Project. Participants explored the Orkney Landscape by learning and experimenting with drawing and painting techniques.

This afternoon I started taking WALKS off the studio walls to get them packaged and ready for their new homes. Thank you for all the online views, comments, visits and encouragement over the last month. I really hope that you have been inspired to get outside, take a walk and enjoy all that our landscape … More WALKS

My penultimate post for WALKS. I was brought up to be thankful and hold it in high regard in my adult life. I fully understand without the help of others, I would not be able to do what I do and that is what makes it pretty special. I have a few folk that I … More THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU.

From the carpark to The Gloup, further onto Brough of Deerness, onto the Trig Point on Mull Head, along to Coventantor’s Memorial. A great circular if you have the time. One of my favourite parts of … More NEVI

Today, while walking down to the Health Centre I looked across to the hills I look over … More CRANTIT, CORSE AND LYNN

This walk was well walked last year – one of my favourite WALKS.  It is not too far from home and never disappoints. Parking at Hobbister following the path through the Nature Reserve and crossing over to Waulkmill Beach.  A walk of sea cliffs, moorland, the whitest sand and clearest of sea. This is a … More Waulkmill

Yesterday we walked the coast of Stromness. I try to do this every time I visit (if time allows). I am not sure I will ever tire of the views – the Hoy Hills make it special. I lived in Stromness for a couple of years in my younger days and my husband’s Granny has … More Ness

Firstly, thank you for all of your support over the last few weeks since WALKS opened. The visits to my website were something else and the messages received have been very encouraging. As an artist is it always a bit daunting releasing your work into the world for folk to see – hours of work … More WALKS
