My work explores shape, form and balance – specifically the tension that exists between them. I am interested in a variety of artistic techniques with which to convey my ideas and feelings. Much of what I make is borne from handling the materials I have around me. Then follows a desire to express an abstract aesthetic – and a resulting work which conveys a relationship between form and feeling.

I am principally motivated by materials and my craft training in jewellery design shapes the way I approach my work – whether it is a pencil drawing or a large scale installation.

About me

I grew up on the East coast of Scotland near Edinburgh. After graduating in Jewellery Design at Edinburgh College of Art in 1996 I went on to study at the Royal College of Art in London. Subsequently, I moved to France where I raised a family and grew my practice. After living in France for 15 years I returned to Scotland in 2018 and I now have a studio in the beautiful Scottish Borders.
