Statement

I am a multi-disciplinary artist who combines landscape and landmarks with stylised graphical designs and historical reference. My practice focuses mainly on ceramics and on multi-layer reduction linocuts, where colours are built up on top of each other over successive print runs, but more recently also includes installations and running workshops and teaching.

Much of my work concerns our relationship to the land through history by considering layers of time beneath our feet; our life built upon our ancestors’ influence hidden around and below us. We stand, not on the shoulders of giants, but on strata of everyday life that’s gone before. You can read more about my influences here.

People often describe the calmness of my work; a reflection of my character and the way I feel when I’m out on our coastline or high in the mountains.

I am currently studying for an MA in Contemporary Art & Archaeology at University of the Highlands and Islands, Orkney College. This has  been a hugely rewarding experience that has allowed me to develop my practice and to increase the way I engage with individuals and communities through my work. 

If you are interested in buying or commissioning work, or discussing project ideas please feel free to contact me.
