Statement
An award winning painter, I maintain a busy schedule of exhibiting work throughout the UK. My work is represented in both public and private art collections. I am an elected Professional Member of both the Society of Scottish Artists and Visual Arts Scotland. I live and work in Edinburgh.
I originally trained and practised as an architect and this background gave me a passion for the built environment; the buildings and spaces between. I am drawn to the structural elements of cities: stairways, doorways, arches, bridges; points of transition / thresholds.
I am interested in the way in which light interacts with the mundane; the transformative effect of sunlight and shade on essential elements upon which we tend not to focus. My work focuses the viewer’s attention on the interplay of light with structure and often treats other elements of the composition in a more abstract way. My work has been described as having a sense of narrative and an atmosphere of calm. I explore the rhythm of light and shade, often on the seemingly ordinary; seeing the everyday in a new light.
