Iceland

July - August 2021

After a year or more dodging the pandemic, and weeks locked away when required by government, at last in early July I was able to escape.  It was to Iceland as ornithologist and artist in residence on board Crystal Endeavor, an expedition ship making her maiden voyage.

Hope Spot Art Project

September 2021

Around the Argyll coast is the Mission Blue Hope Spot - a first for Scotland and mainland UK. This new Hope Spot joins an impressive and growing number around the world. Collectively they can help protect and restore marine biodiversity on a local, regional, national and international scale.

To promote the Argyll Hope Spot, and to tie in with Scotland’s Year of Coasts and Waters, artists from allover the UK have been invited to visit sites and create work that can be used to support and promote the initiative.  I was lucky to be invited and will be based in Tayvallich for a week in September.

About the Artist

Obsessed by the natural world I work out and about in wild places sketching and painting wildlife and landscapes.  It is the rhythm and restlessness of nature which fascinates, and which I try to capture.

This site aims to show some of the studio processes and field experiences, the development of finished work or highlighting work in progress.  There might be news about exhibitions and other events where paintings and prints are on show.

See Artist Profile page for more information.
