| I’m a professional artist-printmaker working in the centre of Lochcarron. Trained as a designer at Birmingham College of Art (as it then was) I did post-graduate research at Leicester College of Art. Five years in Milan and London followed, working on Sforza Castle Museum, Warwick University, Standard Chartered Bank and the QEII. I then taught architecture and design at Dundee College of Art, before moving to Edinburgh College of Art to head my own department, specialising in the adaptive redesign of redundant buildings, plus museum design and scenography. Through all of this, a parallel life as an artist-printmaker was a necessary support and is now my way of life! My work has been bought widely and is found in public and private collections here and overseas. Subjects include the figure, landscape and architecture. Paintings are in oil or acrylic or watercolour; original print techniques include monotype, lino-cut, woodcut, collagraph, dry-point and digital, used singly or in combination. My gallery at Corrack opens irregularly - but notionally 12 -5. Phone to check! | |||||
