HARBOURS & THE EAST NEUK
I was born in Glasgow so I grew up visiting the West Coast often. However, it wasn’t until well into my adult years and after so much travelling abroad that I discovered how much I just adored the east coast of Scotland and especially the quirky little harbours of East Neuk of Fife. Jaunty cottages, bobbing boats, curvy coastlines and tangles of fishing paraphernalia have been an enduring inspiration for quite a number of years now. Even on the greyest of days, it is easy to find excuses to inject uplifting, high key colour, fluorescents and varied texture into these paintings. As with all my work, there is a balance between real and imagined, what has been observed and what has taken on a life of its own.
