A series of work from the summer of 2024 onwards. These works are based on a collection of location studies made during a summer trip(2024)

to a specific part of the solway coast, from Kippford to Sandy Hills in Dumfries and Galloway. These works are not only informed by the recent studies but also the experience of familiarity and memories from many annual visits from my childhood and the childhood of my children.

Walks from home, canvas adventures and bit of go as you please.

Lakes

A series of work from late 2022 onwards exploring the moods, colours, transitions and feelings of Autumn.

Works on canvases and paper from mid-2022 onwards. This series represent an ongoing exploration of studies done on a few moody dramatic days in early Autumn when the sky was bruised dark but the sun struck the landscape in bright streams.

A reflection of that early Autumn back to school feel, full of anxiety about the challenge of new beginnings, about change.

From images created on daily local walks in early summer 2022 when the grass was high and the insects buzzing.
