REVIEWS - "colourful and bold" - Clare Henry, The Herald
"Broad brush strokes and bold use of colour evokes the power and presence of the Scottish landscape…the artist's bold technique is equally capable of drawing objects of delicacy and beauty. (Her work) combines harmony of colour with sublety of form." - Duncan | Macmillan, The Scotsman
