About
I’m a visual artist with a background in fine art painting and photography. I live on the Isle of Barra, in the Western Isles of Scotland.
My art practice is multifaceted, and I enjoy staging interventions into the social landscape and helping to facilitate creative spaces in which participatory art can happen.
I am drawn to patterns and symbols, and I’ve been thinking about the idea of being an island and thinking like an archipelago.
