I graduated from Edinburgh College of Art in 1971. I live and work in a village near Glasgow.

My work is a collection of marks influenced by objects, words, music, locations and events experienced. Mostly viewed from a mind’s eye perspective, the work evolves from my reaction to a particular experience at a particular time.The label, “Still Life”, has been applied to my work. I think of a still life as a deliberate placing of a set of artifacts to be recorded as arranged in view. I don’t think of my work as still life. Neil Astley of Bloodaxe Books remarked that I had, “Reinvented the still life” and certainly elements of still life occur in the work.Flowers are often involved. I really enjoy painting flowers. It’s personal. In my mind I make stories, the viewer may find their own interpretation.

‘Basically, I paint.’
