A collection of collage paintings on wood panels created for Biggar Little Festival 2024. The profiles of dormer windows, spires, chimneys, towers, crow-step gables, clock faces - all the motifs that make up the roofscapes of Biggar caught my attention for this body of work. The association of chimneys with warmth, hearth and home, clocks and the passage of time, spires and towers reaching up and beyond all lead me to a sense of untold stories embedded within the townscape of this ancient market town. This work has been created from many sketches and layers of collage and paint all finished with two coats of UV protective matt varnish.

Selection of work on display and for sale at Castlepark Retreat, Lanark - viewing by arrangement.  Instagram@castlepark_retreats Bed and breakfast and self-catering 'coorie' (Scottish for 'cosy') opens April 2026. 

'Talk to Me' - A Converstion in Colour and Collage
This new body of work is a result of time spent outside in our orchard in gentle observation and listening to the world around me, in particular to the abundant birdlife, responding to and giving form to birdsong through collage and colour.  The work has been created for a solo exhibition at the Caversham Picture Framer which opens on 1st October until 9th November 2025 with a special event/ artist talk held in the Caversham 18 October 2025, 6.30pm.
