My work explores the relationship between landscape and memory, horizons and emotion. I love the creative exploration of dramatic weather and scenery, capturing the beauty of a glimpse of sunlight through a dark cloud, or a golden reflection on deep distant water. I paint where I love being: the Scottish outdoors with its mountains, lochs, beaches and thunderous skies. I paint instinctively and loosely, predominantly using acrylic paint on canvas, often with the addition of gold leaf.
I studied English Literature and Language at University before working in publishing in Edinburgh and London. I’m drawn to art for similar reasons that I love books: escapism, imagination and a shared connection.
Lockdown kickstarted my determination to pursue my lifelong dream of becoming a professional artist. I completed four years of courses at Leith School of Art which not only honed my style of abstracted landscape painting, but gave me the opportunity to meet other artists. I have exhibited at galleries and art fairs throughout the UK, and sold bespoke commissioned artwork here and overseas.
