 My paintings explore connections
with the past. The inspiration for the work comes from Scottish/Celtic
folklore. I am fascinated with how this resonates / overlaps
with other cultures.
Traveling has brought
further diverse influences. Shetland Skeklers, Celtic folklore, ancient
Greek mythology, (the utopian northern people known as Hyperboreans),
Byzantine angels and the prehistoric paintings of the San people,
(Namibia and South Africa), have served as conduits to the loaded
imagery of the canvas.
In my most recent
paintings, solitary figures appear as repositories or vessels. They are
archetypal and shamanistic, sometimes
foreboding or benevolent.
