My work is drawing-based, primarily charcoal and pastel, sometimes using fluid mediums of watercolour and ink, spilling over into monotype and experimental printmaking. This physical way of working embraces spontaneity and energetic expression. I'm drawn to complexity and also the overlooked. Curiosity prompts me to seek out the vitality in someone or something, particularly plantlife.
I form my work alongside the wild, questioning the way we regard the non-human and calling upon our creative imagination to relate to those other than ourselves.
My workshops––for the public and for creative practioners––form an extension of my artistic practice. Currently, I'm moving between drawing and painting, enjoying blurring the boundaries.
For now, my reach is focussed in the extensive rural region of the Scottish Borders.
