My Journal

During the summer of 2023 Resipole Studios hosted the first solo exhibition of my work. MARA brought together a collection of landscape paintings inspired by the west coast of Scotland and it was amazing to see my work fill one of the gallery spaces. It was a little bit daunting too, because each painting represented a very personal interpretation of, and an emotional reaction to the landscape.

The Spring Show opened at Resipole Studios on Saturday 6th April, and I’m thrilled, as always, to have some new work in the exhibition. Here are the five paintings… inspired by the land and the sea where I live and from the journeys I make by boat to the Outer Hebrides every sailing season.

I was absolutely delighted to be invited to show my work at a wonderful new gallery in the Highland Perthshire town of Pitlochry. Housed in a Victorian building, The Perthshire Gallery provides a natural gallery space with its high ceilings and large windows and showcases a wide variety of contemporary art, artists and makers.
