I make 2D and 3D modern mosaics which combine conventional methods and materials with my own unique processes. I work to commission and for exhibition, nationally and internationally. Recent work explores shifts and continuums in narrative building using relief methods.

What to expect: Recent work using traditional as well as selfdeveloped techniques incorporating unusual moulded and painted elements. Exhibition work, sketches, tools, videos and projects-in-progress, also information on an upcoming studio workshop. A kids’ corner for small children to play safe.

Nature and landscape have always been inspirational, particularly the Scottish coast and Islands. My larger paintings, in watercolour and mixed media, are semi abstract, yet still retain a suggestion of reality – resulting in a synergy of observation, memory and imagination.
