I am a photographer using mostly a large format camera with transparency film. Reflecting on my aims early on, I summed them up with the phrase: I make images with the landscape not of it.
Much of my work has been in the Highlands and especially in Glen Etive. I aim to make images capable of various levels of interpretation.
75% of all my proceeds will be donated to the RNLI.
Patchwork, Printing & Painting
I'm a linocut printmaker and patchwork quilt maker. I also enjoy watercolour painting especially when travelling and often use my sketches as inspiration for prints. I'm also fascinated by the nature around me and am currently trying to paint all the small creatures I find in my garden. In the dark winter evenings my love of colour translates well to handsewing and creating patchwork quilts. 75% of any proceeds from my sales are divided equally between the charities Scottish Refugee Council and Children First.
Knitting
After a career in drug development I have revisited my first love of art and design. I was taught by my mother to hand knit and sew at an early age and this has never left me. Throughout my life I’ve never been far from a pair of knitting needles.Inspired by the beauty of East Lothian I always knit with sustainable wool in landscape colours. My favourite colour is green … any shade of green. My favourite yarn is hands down Rowan felted tweed, but I also love Spindrift from Jamiesons of Shetland. 75% of sale proceeds are donated to Crisis Homelessness in Scotland.
