My paintings are inspired by nature and humanity and in the European tradition concerned more about colour, shape and transparency than representation.  

My practice of painting in layers of a water-based gouache with a binder, has developed 

in a new perception of colours as they come alive and show their qualities. The creative process between darkness and light is not only concerning what is happening in nature but also what moves humanity and affects the world. No longer a visual representation it invites the viewer to a personal experience of a natural and spiritual reality.

Art has always been of great importance for me and influenced by the works of Rembrandt and

Turner I was inspired to get serious about painting at a very young age. After postgraduate (MA)

studies in Fine Art (2014) at Norwich University of the Arts I returned to Scotland. I have

participated in Open Studios and exhibited widely in solo and group shows
