This collection of art is more of a varied selection from across Scotland. Connection is still key, the inspiration for them comes from a day out in the Cairngorms, many walks along Reiss and Keiss Beaches, holidays on the West Coast of Scotland and the Borders, plus time spent in Orkney. All time spent with those I love including my faithful 3 dogs that are almost always along for the walk.
A connection to my work and what I make is needed, emotions and memories are invested in what I create. I have found that my best work is inspired in this way. The landscape can be familiar or new; the important thing is the connection with another, enjoying the company of people and, or, my dogs, all whilst walking.
This exhibition of 20 pictures have yet again been inspired by several days all spent with my loved ones. That coupled with a love of what I do, I can only hope, shines through to you the viewer.

Artist Information
The work is developed using layering of various techniques.
Drawing is important, it is the primary step to each piece. I draw simply in black biro, within sketch books, trying to capture the movement and feelings of the place.
The final pieces start with paint reflecting the sketch, which is used to define colour value, informing the following layers. These next layers are collage - both fabric and paper – then, finally, machine and hand embroidery. The resulting work is both considered, and intuitive, with several dimensions to it: image, composition, colour, line and texture.
Please Note -
Colour representation is as accurate as I can make it, therefore it may be slightly different is real life
All the artwork shown in situ, in the rooms, is done by a digital app, therefore again there will be slight differences in real life.
