About

To connect & inspire

I am inspired by nature, landscape, geology and archaeology. My aim is to create artwork that captures a sense of place and time, captures my connection and emotion and inspires the viewer to find their own connection to nature and landscape.

Based in the Cairngorms, I work intuitively in various mediums and styles, aiming to evoke environmental connection and importance. I believe in using art as a method to inspire and connect people to nature and to raise environmental awareness.
