I am an artist and curator and Creative Director of North Light Arts<\/p>\n

My works revisit a long neglected spirit of place<\/em>, responding to my immediate location on the East Coast of Scotland, an ancient interface of nurtured and wild nature.\u00a0In this place I call home, my works gain a visceral and restless quality through the physicality of raw materials.<\/p>\n

Intimate and eternal journeys that seek to explore the inherent tensions between nature and man: musing on our elemental, though increasingly fleeting, relationship between people and the environments we inherit and inhabit.<\/p>\n

My work is driven by encounters with the light filled visions of Buckminster Fuller, a late discovery of John Muir and the environmental issues which we now face. New works are derived from intense observation of my environment with natural and tactile raw materials being stitched and overlaid by mechanical processes in paintings, prints, installations and hand made books: essentially seeking the light and speaking of their organic roots. New and more collaborative ways of working also evolve, not through a linear process but through an elemental dialogue which rambles and flits and sparks a personal sense of place. <\/span><\/p>\n

large scale paintings, landscape interventions or delicate artists books, each unfolds a story of elemental connection and rootedness to place. The contrasts betwixt tamed land & wild sea is my inspiration for works which are also underpinned by a wider environmental dialogue. <\/span><\/p>\n

Since giving up my job as Course Tutor in Design at Doncaster College I was lucky to move north and graduated from Edinburgh College of Art; choosing to live and work by the coast in Dunbar where I am the Creative Director of the environmental arts organisation North Light Arts.<\/span><\/p>\n
