Artist statement
Spending as much time as possible in the landscape of Deeside and the Aberdeenshire coast, documenting the wildlife and light to be found and returning to the studio with these primary observations to be worked up into bigger pieces. As such I will be showing field sketches, gallery pieces and demonstrating at the easel throughout NEOS 2024.
