ARTIST STATEMENT

My drawing developed into spontaneous and regular activity when summer holidaying with grandparents.. Following that, training in my teens, embedded the benefit of regular working and by then, my devotion was so well established that it led me to study drawing, as it would surely mean that I could be doing it every day! ​​​

'Liathach’, (above) portrays grandeur, scale, physicality, a remnant of past geological action. 'The Mountains of Assynt' (below) is a silhouetted giant, with Cul Mor and other peaks, grand and impressive, its mood is in its russet, blue and blue grey colours.

You will see a detailed representation of 'Watermill' and compare it to an abstracted landform, 'Beckoning,' a manifestation of the need to go back home or somewhere.
