Statement

Statement

I feel a deep, intrinsic connection to the natural landscape and beauty of my native Scotland, in particular the Highlands and Western Isles. I find whenever I spend time in these places I’m afforded serenity, stillness, mindfulness and an overwhelming sense of contentment. These remote and sparsely populated regions grant me the opportunity to reflect without any detrimental influence – to be at peace with oneself and fully appreciate existing in that particular moment in time and space. I strive to create work that both celebrates this from a personal perspective, but will hopefully appeal to those who have yet to experience such places and encourage them to do so.

Biography

Biography

I studied Fine Art, Drawing and Painting at DJCAD and graduated in 2004. Upon leaving Art School my creative output was channelled through music exclusively for the following 2 decades, wherein I was fortunate enough to experience numerous successes with the various projects I was involved in.

In 2019 I started hillwalking and through my ‘Munro bagging’ adventures I subsequently developed a strong passion for Scotland’s mountains, glens, and other hard-to-reach places, which began to influence my writing. This eventually accumulated in a return to creating visual art in the Spring of 2024, having been inspired by numerous contemporary and traditionalist landscape painters. I like to work in oils depicting scenes from my travels in Scotland.
