Narratives in Art.
Narratives in Art is a living archive of my practice, a space to document, process, and think out loud. Posts might follow a new work, a small observation, an exhibition, or a question I can't yet answer. There is no fixed agenda here, only an ongoing record of how the work develops, where it leads, and what it is slowly becoming.
Snags Of Drumguish.
After a period of creative block, I found my way back into rhythm through a painting inspired by the foggy clearing and jagged snags of Drumguish. This piece became a way to reflect on texture, atmosphere, and the quiet power of overlooked forms, weaving together my personal experiences and research into the natural world.
Twenty One.
After learning about the idea that doing something for 21 days can help build a habit, I started carving out space each day for my creative practice. What began as quick sketches has become a way to reconnect, refocus, and move through a creative rut with more intention and compassion.
Writing As A Companion To My Art Practice.
In this piece, I reflect on how writing has become an integral part of my art practice - providing a place to process thoughts, capture fleeting ideas, and rediscover a quieter kind of creative strength. From the corner of my guest bedroom to notes written on the go, writing has helped me find rhythm, voice, and a way to listen more closely to what my art is really trying to say.
Trees & Self Reflection.
A reflective essay exploring the quiet sanctuary of wild landscapes and the enduring connection between the human body and trees. Through personal memories of the Cairngorms, late diagnoses of autism and scoliosis, and evolving ink-based art practice, this piece contemplates belonging, embodiment, and the stories carried in both bark and bone.
