Greetings from our studio – where Autumn has set in and we are to be found working away, warmed by the radiating heat of our log-burning stove. One of our daily rituals is to discuss the day’s news over breakfast and oh-so-happily, earlier this week, the sole topic of conversation was a heart-warming story – one with which we agree wholeheartedly, one that we know will strike a chord with everyone who shares our passion for art. At long last, a properly conducted academic stu

We have always believed in the power of creativity, not only for the creator, but, just as importantly, have also witnessed first-hand the positive reactions in anyone viewing the results of someone’s creative efforts.

Greetings from our studio, here in the Highlands of Scotland, from where we send you our warmest salutations and hope that all is well with you in spirit and in health. Even though our heart and souls are committed to creativity, the very essence of our lives, which finds us most days working away in our beloved Steading studio – the ‘art and soul’ of our various projects is rooted in finding subjects and people that inspire us.
