When I was seven, I drew a picture of Kate Bush playing the piano. My mother secretly entered it into a Blue Peter competition, and I received a bookmark and a Blue Peter badge; my first recognition of making something that connected beyond myself.

​

After that, I didn’t draw for many years. I returned to painting later in life through a local art class, and it quickly became a central part of my practice. I am a self-taught painter, working intuitively and continuously developing through observation, experimentation, and sustained engagement with landscape.

​

Alongside painting, I also work in voice acting, though visual art has become the primary focus of my creative work.

​

My practice is rooted in the landscapes of Scotland, particularly the West Coast, where shifting weather, light, and atmosphere shape both subject and mood. I am drawn to transitional spaces; coastlines, hills, and open ground,  where land and sky merge and dissolve. Sheep often appear within these environments as quiet structural presences, offering scale, stillness, and continuity.

 

I currently work primarily on square formats (30×30cm and 40×40cm), which have become an important structural constraint within my practice, supporting balance and compositional focus.

 

My work is concerned with atmosphere, transience, and the emotional register of life within the landscape, rather than direct representation
