Hello and welcome. I'm a visual artist and printmaker based in the Highlands of Scotland.

Artist Statement

​

My work explores our connection with nature and how our inner lives are shaped by the world around us. Time spent in the outdoors, whether walking the Moray countryside or venturing into more remote landscapes, grounds me, provides space for reflection, and inspires my creative process.

​

I primarily work with traditional woodblock printing, a slow, tactile method that allows a deep connection with materials. Each print, with its imperfections, mirrors the unpredictability of life. I embrace the unique interactions between ink, wood, and paper, enjoying the moment a print is revealed.

​

Texture and composition are central to my practice, while a limited colour palette helps reinforce themes of interconnectedness. Although my work is personal, the themes are universal, inviting viewers to bring their own experiences and interpretations. I believe art has the power to open dialogue and illuminate the unseen forces shaping our lives.

​

I also strive to minimise my environmental footprint, using non-toxic materials and ethically sourced paper, with a current focus on sourcing wood locally.

Background

​

From a young age I have been drawn to visual creativity and its ability to help make sense of the world. I hold a BA in Contemporary Art and an MA in Digital Film and Animation. Over 20 years, I have primarily worked in motion design for broadcast, digital, and experiential projects, winning several awards and serving on BAFTA Scotland judging panels.

​

Alongside digital work, I have always been drawn to analogue techniques, particularly photography, and more recently woodblock printing. This practice has become the foundation of my current artistic work, continually evolving and shaping everything you see here.

​

I also lecture BA Fine Art at Moray School of Art, sharing my experience and insights with emerging artists.
