ABOUT ME
I graduated from Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art with an Honours degree in Illustration and Printmaking in 1993. Since graduating I have run my own small design business, covered Scotland as territory manager for various design led gift companies, had a family and finally the chance arose to get back to my creative roots. The West Harris Trust advertised studio spaces in their new community centre (tallanamara) on the west coast of Harris and thinking about the possibilities I applied for one.
Original Artwork
My Illustration background often leads me into looking for the detail and texture in subjects. I enjoy separating the colour and pattern I see in landscapes and creating an almost graphic style. Working mainly in watercolour pen and ink gives me flexibility to explore different styles and ideas. My aim is always to try and capture and reflect the atmosphere, colour and unusual detail of the Hebrides and portray this as honestly as I can.
