I am a multi-disciplinary artist based in the South-East of the United Kingdom.​

​​​​​​

My key motivation as an artist is to share the wonder of indigenous cultures, clan heritage and ancestral patterns.

 

Tartans reflect passages of time and can be used as a way of transforming, or even transporting memories that reside within us.

​

​My aim in the Tartans series is to connect people to their own Scottish clan heritage whilst creating a dialogue that reflects the context of Tartans as a globally renowned symbol. I continue to use the grid as a symbol of modernity.​

 

The series ‘​Where Songlines and Kinship Meet’ was inspired by my travels in Australia and coming across the Aboriginal spot paintings and Dreamtime mythology. The artwork in this series follows a spiritual journey through spot and sett, the path followed during the Dreamtime, and the colours belonging to land and kinship. In an attempt to form cross-cultural ideas of place and belonging. They remind us of the historic and heroic fight by indigenous people to stand by their cultures and traditions.
