portfolio 2000

Welcome to my portfolio, this is just a sample of my work, which has been
taken over the last few years, have a look and I hope you enjoy them

I was born in the east end of Glasgow,I lived in Easterhouse then moved to
Barlanark.
In 1986,when my children were attending the local nursery, I joined in an art class with other local mothers to learn basic crafts and to get some adult company.
The group began tentatively with crafts and painting and then moved into printmaking and photography.
In the years to follow,we took part in a whole selection of projects and exhibits,such as:
Producing a booklet of black and white lino prints with poems by Freddie Anderson
Large lino prints onto canvas with artist in residence Andrew Hay
"Wear It Well"exhibition with the Open Museum
Writing workshop with Maud Sulter
Producing a calender in association with Scottish Child Magazine
From there, I went onto John Wheatley College, to do a National
Certificate course in Photography on a part-time basis.
When I finished that, I went onto Glasgow College of Building and Printing, and
studied a two year HND course and finished with an Advanced Diploma
course.
I now teach photography within John
Wheatley College.
I enjoy it very much and hope I pass on
my enjoyment of photography to others.
These pictures were taken while I was attending college.
