Artist bio: Go into science, you can always do art as a hobby, the adults said. However my love of art long out-lived my career as a research scientist and I eventually went to Art College, where the print workshop became my favourite place. My plans to complete a degree in illustration ended with a move to Inverness but this turned into a new opportunity when I showed up at the door of the Highland Print Studio, was warmly welcomed and have never looked back. In relief printing I find a combination of craft and art that throws up technical as well as visual challenges, appealing to the remaining scientist within me. My subject matter is generally drawn from images I enjoy from the world around me and my aim is to share this pleasure with others. Sometimes I would like to follow in the tradition of printmakers who expose the injustices around us, but I have found that this is not part of my creative make-up and is better left to artists whose talents in this field are greater than mine.
