artist’s
statement
All I try to achieve with my work, is to do justice
to the land and sea which I see before me in scotland.
they are my passion and the reason I never struggle for
inspiration.
I love to make new discoveries and find new visions around
each corner, but, equally, I have certain favourite locations
of which I never tire, returning over and over again –
often finding a new light or element to capture.
it is scotland’s ability to surprise, no matter
how well you think you may know her, which has always
amazed me… long may it continue to do so.
work
I paint
solely using acrylics. they sit well with my technique
which is one of broad application and rapidly working
the paint.
The fast drying paint has to be manipulated quickly and
it is this to which I attribute the sense of movement
and spontaneity within my work.
I was trained under the tutelage of norrie kirkham, peter
howson and david linley at glasgow school of art –
all of them were, and remain, a huge inspiration, as are
the brilliant Scottish Colourists
