Being immersed in the beautiful landscapes and colours of the Outer Hebrides since birth has shaped Kathleen’s love of interpreting her surroundings in art. She works in mixed media to explore local culture, history and nature.

Kathleen has been shortlisted for SAA Artist of the Year, the BBC Big Painting Challenge, and in official selections for National Open Art and London Short Film Festival competitions. As part of the Iolaire commemorations in 2019, she completed a sculpture of 201 handpainted stones and driftwood, which was exhibited in 'Iolaire 100' at An Lanntair, Stornoway.

She is looking forward to expanding her art following her return home from university studies, and being able to celebrate the Hebridean landscapes and culture she grew up in.
