GO!! đ
Last day to see my work at Common Ground; The Living Landscape exhibition.
3B St Mary St, Kirkcudbright, DG6 4AA
@kirkcudbrightgalleries@visualartsscotland
Common Ground; The Living Landscape is an exhibition that brings together artists and makers whose work speaks to our deep, evolving relationship with Scotlandâs natural environment.
Scotlandâs land carries stories of belonging and separation, of heritage and transformation, of deep time and fragile change. Through its rivers and coastlines, forests and moors, people have shaped the land and, in turn, been shaped by it. These connections run deep, interwoven with memory, ritual, and identity.
For our first exhibition of 2026 we have brought together artists and makers whose work responds to these depictions of living landscapes, inviting audiences to consider how creativity can reconnect us to nature in an era of climate uncertainty and cultural shifts.
The exhibition celebrates practices that are both grounded in materiality and attuned to spirit: works made from the land, about the land, and in dialogue with the land.

Setting Light & Dark Side
Pastel works of Loch Lomond and Ben Lomond, contrasting west-facing evening light with the mountainâs North facing shadows. Spring green, blues and purples reflect the shifting light at dusk. They are both Xtra, created with love and affection.
Enjoy!!
Two new prints landing next week đ
Loch Lomond and Ben Lomond inspired. Finally!!
A full riot of colour in both, finished just in time before I head to Mull on Friday⌠ready to be hit with the next wave of inspiration.
Hereâs a little sneak peek đŤś

Exclusive prints for @theposterclub
âOnce the snow has fallen, and the gullies are choked and ice is in the burns, green is the most characteristic colour in sky and water. Burns and river alike have a green glint when seen between snowy banks, and the smoke from a woodmanâs fire looks greenish against the snow.
The shadows on snow are of course blue, but where snow is blown into ripples, the shadowed undercut portion can look quite green. A snowy sky is often pure green, not only at sunrise or sunset, but all day; and a snow-green sky looks greener in reflection, either in water or from windows, than it seems in reality. Against such a sky, a snow-covered hill may look purplish, as though washed in blaeberry. On the other hand, before a fresh snowfall, whole lengths of snowy hill may appear a golden green. One small hill stands out from this greenness: it is veiled by a wide-spaced fringe of fir trees, and behind them the whole snowy surface of the hill is burning with a vivid electric blue.â

⨠Kindle & Trace â¨
Two fiery landscapes that have made the rounds in various exhibitions and I've loved having them in the studio. Now available on my site, as I just can't keep them to myself forever đĽ
We asked for sunshine and she delivered âď¸

Iâve been putting off drawing Loch Lomond, but with spring and everything coming into bloom it feels like the moment đą
So Iâm saying it here, itâs happening.
A print collection will follow.
