At www.gallowayartistsandmakers.org.uk there is information about many professional artists and craftspeople across the region.  At the "Spring-Fling" website www.spring - fling.co.uk you will find full details of the open studios and small galleries participating in the 2008  event. My studio will be open as part of this event. Please see my exhibitions page for other events.

Having lived almost half my life in Finland I have many fond memories of life there. The town where I lived and worked was Joensuu which has it's own website part of which is written in English.

I am a member of The Society of Scottish Artists who also have their own website. The society works very hard to promote Scottish Art and Artists and holds an annual exhibition in Edinburgh. For other scottish based artists, please visit www.scotlandsartists.com, which also has some pages relating to my gallery and to my work. You may also find more scottish based artists at www.bankofscotlandgallery.co.uk. For fine  scottish craft makers including ceramics and jewellery, please see www.scottishcraft.com. I occasionally have exhibitions at my studio which include other artists' work; one such artist is Anne Duffy; her website can be seen at www.duffyart.co.uk

For visitors to Galloway on the trail of arts and craft work, and for all holiday- makers, there is a wealth of accommodation available in the region, and the friendliest of welcomes. For excellent food and accomodation near the most inspiring scenery of Galloway, Creebridge House Hotel in Newton Stewart is to be recommended, as is Nunland Country Holidays near to Dumfries www.nunland.co.uk
