My Scottish roots are reflected in my painting.
The Scottish artists from the past; the Glasgow Boys and Scottish
Colourists, influence me with their realism in landscape and still life.
Inspiration comes from light and drama of the southwest coastline of
Galloway.
Nature keeps changing and has the ambivalence of being both nurturing
and hostile and I feel my own work takes me in the direction of the
elements in nature and the importance of presence and atmosphere. I
paint the moment and the feeling of Time and Place.
My favoured subjects are Scottish landscapes, flower paintings, inspired
by Georgia O'Keeffe, and still life, concentrating on shapes and angles.
I work in watercolour, pastel and oils and have recently explored the
use of colour through printing. This method of working has taken my work
from figurative to abstraction.
Currently I am a council member of Dumfries and Galloway Fine Arts Society. My role there is exhibition co-ordinator. I am on the committee of Thornhill Arts who arrange art exhibitions and concerts in my local area. I am so pleased that, for the 3rd year in a row, I have been selected for Spring Fling Open Studios, which takes place on the 23rd, 24th and 25th of May 2009.
