My practice moves between drawing, writing, and bookmaking as interconnected forms of attention. At the centre of it is a belief that sustained looking at the natural world, pursued through mark-making over time, produces a kind of knowledge that cannot be arrived at any other way.

Drawings begin from close observation of plants, gardens, and forest edges and evolve as traces of time spent looking, thinking and reworking. Writing shares the same quality of attention: slow, repeated, sitting with uncertainty until something true emerges. Artist books bring both together in a single object, sequence, mark and word held in something you can hold and turn.

Recent work includes Cura (2023–2025), an exhibition at Dundee Botanic Garden supported by a Visual Artists and Craft Makers Award from Fife Contemporary, and Small Signs, a Substack of essays on art, ecology, and the practice of looking.

I am also voluntary Exhibition Coordinator for the Art and Nature Collective, a Dundee-based network of artists working at the intersection of art and ecology and a committee member of North Fife Open Studios.

I studied Drawing and Painting at Edinburgh College of Art and completed an MFA in Art and Humanities at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design, Dundee (2018).
