- Work
- Biography
I draw, paint and make prints - etchings, aquatints, photopolymer gravures, linocuts and monotypes. My work is inspired by the sea and hills of Wester Ross. I work in my studio at the house in Lochcarron (between Skye and Applecross) where I have a printing press.
I like wild landscapes, trees and old structures that speak of the past. I think about landscape textures and the relationship between buildings and nature, and sometimes I re-imagine landscapes from my sketches. I also like to explore new ideas, new materials, etc
I make my printing plates at Edinburgh Printmakers and then print them out in different ways, sometimes using coloured inks and chine colle.
