At Cowal Open Studios 2024, I will be exhibiting at Holy Trinity Church, 55, Kilbride Road, Dunoon PA 23 7LN. Plenty of free parking is available. You could also combine a visit with a walk up beautiful Bishops Glen.

Please note, well-behaved dogs are also very welcome at the venue.🐕👍🏼

If you are interested in any of my work, I can be contacted at weetartanhare@gmail.com

I live and work in Cowal where I balance my pharmacy career with my passion for watercolour painting and an all-consuming love of all things Highland.

My work is original and inspired by the wild and beautiful landscape of the Highlands, and Argyll in particular. 

I have a particular passion for undertaking commissioned pet portraits and to date have worked with dogs, cats, birds and even rabbits, getting to know them as I aim to capture their personalities in watercolour.

I have illustrated a published children’s book for an Argyll author, telling the story of two adventurous puffins and their friends. Copies of the book will be available during Cowal Open Studios.

All the materials I use are of the highest professional quality to ensure that my paintings remain fresh and vibrant.

I also produce a selection of prints in A4 and A3 size as well as notelets of my artwork. These are produced on highest quality textured card by local printers, Argyll Print and Design and are sold in my online Etsy shop, WeeTartanHare.

I can offer bespoke prints of my work on request. Please have a chat to me.

When not in my NHS Scotland role or painting, I can be found hillwalking, scrambling or wild swimming in the Highlands’ magnificent outdoor playground. A keen Munro-ist, it is not unusual to spot me performing celebratory summit cartwheels, although that was a ‘pass’ on the Cuillin, where a couple of celebratory abseils were the smarter choice.
