I am passionate about modern and contemporary art and would like to share that passion with you.
I focus on British, particularly Scottish, art from approximately 1900 to 1975, with a special interest in women artists and the Scottish Colourists. I have over twenty-five years’ experience as a national gallery senior curator and as an auction house specialist.
I am a BBC Expert Woman and a Saltire Society Outstanding Woman of Scotland.
I have been responsible for many major exhibitions, accompanied by publications, including those on modern Scottish women painters and sculptors, the Scottish Colourists F. C. B. Cadell, S. J. Peploe and J. D. Fergusson, 20th-century Scottish Art and modern British art.
I regularly lecture and write about my areas of expertise, including at the Universities of Cambridge, Edinburgh, London and Aberdeen and for the National Galleries of Scotland, Lund Humphries and Tate.
I am a Trustee of the Hugo Burge Foundation, Lund Humphries Foundation for Visual Arts and the Scottish Society for Art History, as well as a Committee Member of the Harry & Margery Boswell Art Collection at the University of St Andrews.
I believe that everyone can enjoy, learn from and be inspired by modern and contemporary art.
