"My main inspiration is in the Scottish land and seascape.
I enjoy using colour to define contours, structure and changing light sequences. I search out specific view points. I am equally inspired by the changing light sequences of the Western Isles and the dramatic view pionts of the Eastern coastline. I work predominantly in oil".
