The inspiration for my mixed media textile works and prints on acrylic comes from a response to the Scottish landscape and, in particular, to my own immediate environment of North East Fife and the River Tay. My aim is not to ‘re-create’ the landscape in a representational form but rather to respond to it in a way which interprets the surfaces and textures of land and water, and also the part played by seasonal and climatic changes. I strive to convey the essence of the landscape I observe and my process involves constantly distilling images until I feel satisfied with the result. Only those elements that are necessary to convey my thoughts and ideas are used. Over the last four years I have explored the medium of screen print as a means of developing ideas further and also expanding my artistic practice.
