- Biography
I work from my home studio/sanctuary in Edinburgh. I work intuitively, applying layer upon layer of acrylic paint to canvas or board until I feel the work is complete. I usually have many paintings on the go at any one time - a little production line. This reduces the risk of overworking a piece.
I am inspired by many things; old maps, faded shop signs and street signs from days of old, plant life. Also shapes, colours, textures. Sometimes the thing I am most enthusiastic about will only appear in my work a few times yet something I am not as sure about can become a firm favourite.
