Artist Statement

I studied fine art at Edinburgh College of Art. I have been inspired by nature and although my work is detailed I am not simply a representational artist. My mission explores my inner journey using the emotional symbolism of my subject matter. I am currently working on sea and rock paintings in which the movement of the ocean waves express the rhythm of life, the force and strength of nature. Its turbulence and calm reflect our inner world. I am interested in exploring the fluidity of water against the firm resistance of hard rock. The Waterfall series combines the energy from the fountain of happiness and light with the deep inner sadness from the darker side of night.

I have developed a series of 3D paintings to challenge the tradition that paintings have to be 2 dimensional rectangular images hanging on walls. I cut 3D structures which sit on specially designed plinths so they are seen at specific heights. I am also developing hanging paintings and 3D floor paintings as well as irregular shaped paintings for the wall thus considering all the opportunities to place paintings in different parts of an environment. These works combine my training in painting and sculpture.
