Oil on Canvas · Glasgow

Painting the
world in quiet
light

Work drawn from the mountain wilderness — the Scottish Highlands, the Alps, the Canadian Rockies. Each painting is a study in light, atmosphere, and the particular silence of high places.

I paint to slow the world down — to sit with a mountain until I understand its light.

In the Studio

Painting from life,
painting from memory

Each painting begins in the wild — a sketch, a photograph, a colour note made in fading light. Back in the studio, I work in oil, building form through layers of transparent glazes and impasto passages.

The landscape is never just scenery. It is mood, atmosphere, a particular quality of winter light on stone. I want the viewer to feel the cold in the shadows and the warmth of the last sun on a ridge.
