The inspiration for my work comes from a response to the Scottish landscape and, in particular, to my own immediate environment of North East Fife and the Tay Estuary. My aim is not to 're-create' the landscape in a representational way but rather to respond to it in a way which interprets the surface and texture of land and water. I try to convey the essence of the landscape I observe and my process involves constantly distilling images until I am satisfied with the result. Over the last four years I have explored the medium of screen print on various metals and acrylics as a means of developing ideas further and also expanding my artistic practice.
