The work aims to lead the viewer into the depths of the paint with the hidden layers suggesting concealed distances. When seen at a distance the loose brushwork merges into a constellation of marks. The work is deep stretcher construction and made to be hung frameless

I’m a painter and falconer based in the Scottish Highlands and my practice reflects the duality of pursuing these very different occupations. The hawk flying high in the landscape represents freedom, but this is freedom completely dependent on its perfectly designed form and structure. A painting comprises many brush marks, each part of the whole. So the hawk with his feathers, coloured, shaped and exactly placed. The introspection and confinement of studio practice directly contrasts with flying hawks free in open landscape and this is perhaps reflected in the different approaches I’ve taken to painting. Works can be either abstract or figural, gestural or uniform but always underpinned by an exploration of paint as a substance in terms of colour, texture and surface. Open space, cloudscapes, night skies, flight and movement are interpreted in paint by 'making the marks move'. The painting as a ‘made’ object’ is fundamental and some works recycle sections of old work so that the canvas, instead of remaining concealed beneath paint, becomes a surface in itself as well as being integral to the work. Abstract works in oil are unframed on box canvas in order to retain brush marks at the edges and emphasise the work as ‘object’ not ‘window’. These larger colourful canvases display beautifully on plain neutral walls and are proving popular additions to corporate art collections . They provide a 'stand alone' focal point for attention in public areas, business premises, atria, hospitals and colleges, drawing the eye to the detailed expressive brushmarks. Medium size works would be creative additions to home decor or a personal art collection for buyers appreciating expressive colour and energy.
