Meet the family
At our opening event on Saturday 26 October between 2pm and 4pm
“ The works on canvas seek to convey what I believe makes Edinburgh so desirable – its energetic urban sprawl, contrasted with peaceful, green spaces that allow you time to contemplate With my metal works, I have sought to reduce the elements of land, sea and sky to simple horizontal shapes that evoke the changing atmosphere of the Scottish coastline.”

“ Landscapes and garden imagery are the subject matter for this group of acrylic paintings, inspired by the view of my small city garden.
Memories, atmosphere, the seasons and time inform the works which are resolved intuitively through my use of material fragments, wallpaper patterns and relief support structures I have drawn upon a variety of sources for inspiration and imagery including plant specimens, reliquary, medieval books and foliage. I am also seeking a more sustainable approach to my painting and materials ”

“ I am interested in the contrasting dialogue between retro digital imagery and hand drawn gestures. I use a variety of media – paint, printmaking, drawing and video –to explore the tension between intuitive marks and controlled lines.
I enjoy playing with colour, composition and layering to create dynamic, eye-catching works with a nostalgic edge ”
