The artwork represented here is a personal response to living and working in Edinburgh over 20 years. Many have their origins in a response to a particular view of the city".Holyrood in winter" for example started in a mundane trip to the studio my head full of daily cares when suddenly confronted by this magestic scene. I became an artist in the first place because I was driven to express these feelings visually.

It was not untill I had my first exhibition in the early 90s and gathered the work together that I realised that’s what I had been doing.None of the images are hackneyed views but a fresh personal statement that you will not find anywhere else.

Whatever the term used, and a fuller, more visual and poetic explanation can be found in the background section, the quality and uniqueness of the work is very clear and speaks for itself.
