I am an award-winning landscape artist based in the Mearns in the North East of Scotland. Working almost exclusively in watercolour, I am inspired by Mearns landscapes and seascapes. Using a combination of sketches, images and visual memory, I try to get as close as I can to the original experience of being in the landscape in order to create a ‘sense of place’.
