ARTIST STATEMENT
I was born and brought up on the coast of Caithness in the far north of Scotland
where I learned an appreciation of the sea and a love of coastal scenes and
small harbours.
In my work I combine colour, composition and tones to distil the harmonies
and moods I see in the landscapes around me. I find the way the land meets
the sea fascinating and compelling.
My images are my hiding
places, where I can escape to a sense of freedom & peace.
