I began my fine art studies at a turning point in my life and, since graduating in 2024 from the University of the Highlands and Islands, I have balanced my time between my creative practice and working as an Integrative Therapist.
I favour a phenomenological approach to exploring the human experience of being in the world and my creative work embraces architecture, installation, and sculpture. As a process-led artist, I explore the possibilities for change, renewal and healing through working with materials and spaces, echoing my work in the therapy room.
I prefer utilising recycled and repurposed materials, drawing on their inherent history. I enjoy the playful aspects of experimentation, repetition, and reconfiguration, all of which feature heavily in my work.
To create this site-specific work, I have used wooden ‘lathe’ ripped from my 200-year-old cottage on the Moray Coast, repurposing materials previously hidden or discarded and displaying the internal framework of home.
