Artist Statement 

I have been strongly influenced by Aboriginal Art and their use of mark making and this has generated the intricate patterning in my works. The earthy colour scheme so typical of Native Australian Art and the strong tradition of storytelling is very important to the Aborigines and is steeped
in tradition.

Colour wise I want to interpret Scotland and I often seek out a high vantage point to give a panoramic view of the land. The ever changing seasons and field patterns are a constant source of inspiration.
