My Scottish Adventure
I moved to Scotland in December 2020. Although I wasn't born here and I'm not Scottish through any birth right, I've been coming here since I was about seven years old. Firstly for family holidays, then to visit my best friend in the RAF at Kinloss and eventually to visit my parents who moved here in 2014. I feel very connected to this country and its wonderful mountains, lochs, coasts and people. It seemed inevitable that I would live here myself and luckily my husband loves it too. I love my studio by the sea in Whinnyfold, Aberdeenshire and feel very blessed to live in this beautiful part of the world.

Whinnyfold Bay
Just north of Aberdeen City and south of Peterhead lies Cruden Bay; a beautiful pinkish sandy bay, popular with kite surfers and famous for it's connections with Bram Stoker, the writer and creator of Dracula. Nearby, New Slains Castle and it's octagonal centre room is said to have inspired Dracula's castle. Whinnyfold Bay is an historic fishing hamlet, which lies at the southern tip of Cruden Bay. Bram stoker used to visit and take tea here. He is said to have taken much inspiration from the Skares (the rocky reef) here. I too have found much inspiration for my artwork in this scenic location with its rocks, beaches and colourful skies.
