I am an Edinburgh based artist with a passion for trees.
My work is inspired by their forms, their history and the influence that human actions have in shaping them. It has a strong emphasis on drawing, both in the field in the woods and wild places of Scotland, and in my studio at Edinburgh's art's complex.

Crichton beeches
Cold, clear winter days give a wonderful light for photographing old trees. I found this group of beeches near Crichton on a day out scouting for new drawing locations. Many have interesting graffiti as well as lots of forms to investigate, and can be seen on an Ordnance Survey map of 1843-1882 - I'll be back!
Community
I also work with communities across the Lothians and central Scotland, specialising in projects which use the arts as a tool for community development. I have a particular interest in projects which enable marginalised communities to have their voice heard.More Community work >
