Meet the Artist

I am a Mixed Media Painter working mostly with acrylics, sometimes with additional materials such as gels, pastes, stencils, and metallic papers. I enjoy experimenting with different techniques, and freely combine approaches from water colour, pastels, fluid art, and various styles of acrylic. Over time I have learned from many teachers and mentors and have broadened my focus to include pure abstract, representational, and abstract realism.  

 

I have lived on the coast in Cowal, in the West of Scotland, since 1996 and my studio looks directly across the Firth of Clyde to the hills beyond.  This makes me sensitive to the influence of endlessly changing weather and water on my moods and emotions.  I work to capture these energies and feelings in my painting, which has recently focused on coastal themes both real and imagined.

 

I hope you enjoy looking through this selection of available paintings.  If you like my style of work and have an idea for a specific painting not in my collection, I am happy to undertake private commissions.  Please get in touch for any questions, comments, or further information.
