Scottish Artist

In the Artist's own words....

"Inspired by personal everyday domestic interiors including my former and current homes, I am interested in the overlapping nature of the past and present. Recurring images such as empty bird cages, dolls houses, patterned wallpaper and crimson velvet bedspreads thread the paintings together and suggest the recent presence of humans.

When figures do appear they rarely engage with the viewer, rather they are intent on their own private thoughts or task. This leaves the narrative of the paintings open to speculation.

Although these paintings are based on reality, imagination takes over. The aim is to create an atmosphere of ambiguity and detachment from the outside world. As the viewer of the paintings you are intruding on the scene, voyeuristically invading an intimate interior space."
