About

I’m currently working on a beautiful new collection of paintings.

Influenced by living on the West Coast of Scotland. I create contemporary mixed media paintings.

Weaving a story of the exceptional beauty found in the Highlands. Capturing fleeting moments of light & evoking memories of time spend within this landscape.

Living so closely to the shores of a loch over these last years, it is here where my work developed.

Embracing swimming in it’s cold waters! has truly influenced some of these moments.

My past history working in this area within the landscape, as a run guide and outdoor instructor has been very colourful and one well connected with people & place. This often finds its way into the narrative of my work.

Witnessing the changing beauty of the West Coast through the seasons continues to influence my work. The changing light, the weather or how it feels to be in this area, within these unique locations continually inspires me. Through abstract expressionism my work reflects elements of these places.

Originally from a Textile Design Degree background studying in Galashiels, I’m passionately rekindling my love for my art & creativity.

Connect

The beginnings of a piece of work will be captured from sketches taken on location.

Being immersed outside/en plein air, my visual expression/impression of these places often comes first.

This is further progressed into artworks at the home studio. The whole process is akin to reflection or journaling.

Studio

I’m delighted to be working from my home studio in the beautiful Highlands.

Over the years traveling, spending time in different locations/environments, I found myself always returning home to

The West Coast.

Evolve

Opening up possibilities to showcase my work,

worldwide is my next venture. I’m continuing to delve into new explorative processes of self expression.
