I was born in Glasgow, and have lived in
Scotland all my life. I like to combine my love of hill-walking with painting al fresco to
capture life with a sense of urgency and immediacy. I work mainly in oils, enjoying the
intensity of sculpting the paint with knives, rags and fingers that I feel engender the
dynamic forces of nature into my art. Rather than be restricted by subject matter I
think it is necessary to paint still life, real life, landscape and portraiture. My
aim is always to capture the 'moment' in my paintings. I greatly admire the work of many
Scottish artists with the strongest influences on my work being Stephen Carruthers,
Jenny Saville and Enid Foote Watts. |
