Description

Lanark I. 70 x 70 x 3 cm. Gesso Ink, Acrylic on Birchwood Panel. Created 2025.

This is the first in my series of five large abstract paintings with the title LANARK, which is the name of the small town in the South of Scotland where I was born and grew up.

These paintings invite you to slow down, take time, let you discover nuances and subtle elements in the forms, hues, spaces, shapes, textures and lines within the paintings. As a creative artist I am attempting to reduce, to simplify and enhance a more meditative approach to seeing, observing, enjoying, to being with a painting. 

Creating the LANARK series was an emotional journey for me, full of rich memories, turning points, images, insights.
