I am a self taught artist with a love of animals and the natural
world. Animals feature in much of my work, be they farmed, wild or
companion. I do many pet portrait commissions and I aim to capture the
essence and unique personality of the subject with each brushstroke. I
would describe my animal art as realistic with a healthy dose of whimsy
as I love to inject personality and vibrancy of colour in every
painting.
As well as animals, I am inspired to paint the landscapes and seascapes of my beautiful surroundings in the far north of
Scotland. The skies are massive up here where it is so very remote and
they make for some spectacular sunrises, sunsets and even shows of the
northern lights when the conditions are right. Nature's own palette
inspires the vibrancy and texture of my landscape work and I tend to
focus on the colour and drama of the scene, endeavoring to capture the
impression of a moment in time such as a sunrise or a stormy day and the
effect that has on the landscape, rather than the specifics of the
landscape itself.
