SLA 034 – Culzean Castle Caves
Venturing below the cliffs at Culzean you discover the secret caves used as a smuggling hideaway. I had a lot of fun creating this mixed media piece using tissue paper, gesso and cling film to develop the texture under the acrylic ink.
SLA 033 – Machrie Moor Standing Stones
I started this painting back in the Winter of 2020/2021 after visiting the Machrie Moor standing stones on the Isle of Arran during a holiday, but it never got finished until July 2023. My husband and I found the extensive site of stones during the COVID pandemic. ...

SLA 017 – Cliffside Cottage
In 2018 I was introduced to acrylic ink and had some right old fun playing around with the ink on different textures such as gesso, tissue paper and masking fluid. I also took some sand paper to it to create the cracking effect.
