I am an abstract landscape painter, living in East Lothian, Scotland.

My work is inspired by nature and the countryside around me. For me,
painting explores the abstract values I find within the landscape. I am excited by wild open spaces, a big sky, the textures of fields and woods, the restless and unpredictable beauty of the sea, how the weather sweeps in and the light changes moment by moment. A love of colour drives my painting practice.

The process of painting involves many layers of collage and acrylic paint, some translucent, some opaque, sometimes previous layers are buried, scratched back into, so that the painting’s history reflects the layering and complexity of the land itself.

Painting for me is not about recreating the reality of the landscape, but rather the remembered landscape and experience of being in it. My paintings have their beginnings in real places and experiences, but the process of creating also involves memory, intuition and response to the materials, so that the work evolves into abstract pieces which I hope will have resonance for others too.
