About the artist
The sea and the coast is my favourite place to be - so my artwork is of the sea, the coast, and the plants and creatures found there. My studio may be in Glasgow, but it echoes with the sound of the waves.
Born in England, grew up by the sea in Ayrshire, live and work in Glasgow.
About the artwork
At the Start of the Day is a two-plate etching combining hard-ground and aquatint. The birds are printed in gold ink, their movement cutting across the soap-ground aquatint. Scratches were encouraged to echo the feeling of salt, wind and the restless rhythm of early morning on the estuary, when the light begins to warm and shift toward golden hour. I wanted the print to feel open and atmospheric, with the stillness and anticipation of the start of the day.
