Shetland artist, born in 1975 on the most northerly island in Scotland, the Shetland Islands, draws inspiration from the local landscape. Having grown up in Lerwick, they loved playing in the lanes as a child and now enjoy drawing them. The different textures and shades, especially of the cobblestones, trees, and steps, captivate them. The way the light changes the atmosphere of the lanes is fascinating, and the history of this special part of Lerwick, along with its stories, intrigues them. They strive to capture the stillness and sense of timelessness in their drawings. Bigton, located at the south end of Shetland, was another favorite childhood haunt. It was home to their grandparents, where they spent many happy days playing in the hay and fields with Shetland ponies, cows, sheep, and playful little lambs. Recently, the artist has returned to their ‘Ness’ roots to celebrate the islands’ unique landscape. Their latest collections include paintings of abandoned 'yoals' (rowing boats), old croft houses, wildlife, and Shetland’s beautiful wildflowers.
