Flying Solo - Journey
Recently returned from life affirming trip to the stunningly beautiful and otherworldly Maldive islands. It’s difficult not to feel inspired by the colour shapes and form I’ve seen. Overwhelming and abundant life forms I’m still processing with joy through my videos and photographs. I plan to spend the next 6 months freely experimenting in the studio informed by sea and island experience.

VAS Annual Exhibition Cancelled due to COVID restrictions
I was thrilled to have this work selected for the Visual Art Scotland exhibition due to open 9th January 2022 in RSA, Edinburgh.
UPDATE
It is with a heavy heart that we announce the Visual Arts Scotland Annual Exhibition at the Royal Scottish Academy will not be presented as a physical exhibition this January 2022.
The VAS Council have discussed at length issues around holding the Annual Exhibition, bearing in mind the developing situation with the new variant and potential new restrictions. We strongly feel, after much deliberation, it would be irresponsible of us to hold a physical exhibition at this time. Instead we will be moving our annual exhibition online.
