Statement


I am an artist and fine art printmaker based on the Isle of Lewis.

My work iwas recently exhibited at The Birch Tree Gallery, Edinburgh and at An Lanntair, Isle of Lewis. Other recent exhibitions at Cowal Open Studios, Dunoon, Talla na Mara Gallery -  Isle of Harris, Caithness Horizons Gallery - Thurso.

My printmaking uses monoprint, relief and intaglio techniques. I use shape, colour and texture from the rich island environment to inform my printmaking and mixed media work, constantly developing and discovering new ways of creating work that reflects the landscapes and seascapes and ever changing light.

I run classes and art workshops for adults and children and work from my studio which looks out across the Minch to mainland Scotland.
