My Work

I am a painter living and working in East Lothian, Scotland. I studied painting at Grays School of Art, Aberdeen, where I produced configurations of canvases each looking at a different part, perspective or detail of a landscape. I was attempting to escape the traditional one-perspective approach of landscape painting and to capture a sense of the ‘whole’.

This involved looking down at the earth and naturally led me on to painting aerial landscapes. I had always been astounded by the painterly and ‘abstract’ looking shapes and patterns seen from the sky and as a subject it was a fresh way to look at the land which unified my love of landscape painting and ‘abstraction’.
