I create work in an abstract non-representational style relying on colour interaction & composition to convey nature's colour & movement. 

​

I've always had an interest in being near water; be it precious memories of hiking up to Highland waterfalls as a child, camping beside Scotland's finest lochs & rivers or scuba diving in the ocean.  

​

I am interested in how colours move, merge, reflect & interact above & below water. 

My paintings depict a moment in time, capturing water’s surface & texture & in some cases, figures within.

​

My artworks have a distinct feeling of calm & fluidity which I create through a process of moving meandering colour through deep layers of acrylic & ink.

​

I begin with colour inspiration from nature. I keep in mind a loose composition of where i am headed. I begin with a tried colour combination or a new mixture of colour recently spotted in nature's sky, land or water.

 

I'm always looking into new ways of making colour interact & react against one another. 

Layering colour comes from instinct but i often find myself reacting to what is appearing on the canvas & make adjustments along the way. 

​

I create in ways which unbind me from literal interpretation so both I & the viewer can be free to interpret and experience my artwork in a way that is relevant to them.
