Art from the unexpected
When out walking, with my hands full of found objects / seaweed I’m often asked “why?” or “what are you going to do with that?”
This website is to share my ideas, creative processes & art.
Join me on my artistic journey.
The art of walking
The artistic journey starts with a walk, along the streets of Edinburgh, the beautiful Scottish countryside or barefoot on a beach, always immersing self in place, noticing the unseen to find inspiration & art materials.
The art of finding
Creative process begins with a deep appreciation for what nature & everyday life offers. Allowing each object to determine its artistic destiny.. This approach results in unique, contemporary art; reimagining, repurposing & transformation.
Found Object Artists
Rescue discarded objects to create with, changing context & meaning, transforming from uncared for to the extraordinary.
