Artist Biography:
For more than twenty years now, I have worked as a successful sculptor here in Scotland, mainly in wood, although latterly I have begun to explore the possibilities of making willow sculptures – drawing in the sky. As one of Scotland’s foremost woodcarvers, my work has explored many themes: religious, wildlife, Celtic, maritime and historical subjects, using all kinds of native hardwoods such as lime and Scottish oak. Sketching is always part of the sculptural process, but over the past few years I have found myself spending more and more of my time painting.
I suspect it is partly because of my sculptural background that I have been prompted to free myself to explore figures in a colourful landscape – vivid colour fascinates me, as do figures moving and interacting within bright West of Scotland beach and seascapes, or Scottish city parks in all seasons. I feel that I will never reach the end of inspiration for these. The potential for a kind of storytelling within the picture – what has happened before, what might occur after - also interests me enormously, again perhaps because wood sculpture is so very different – there is movement and tension within each carving but the ‘story’ of the piece itself is very different.
