I graduated in Nov 2023 from an MFA in Art, Science & Visual Thinking. With a degree in Biological Imaging and a background in medical and forensic photography as well as environmental work, I have recently been looking at worlds within worlds. I am fascinated by mosses and the worlds in and around them, particularly mosses of peat bogs.
Detail, texture, fragility and the infinite beauty of nature interest me as well as our entanglement as humans with the non-human. I am primarily a photographer but have been working with bronze, glass and video during my Masters as well as collecting sounds.
I regularly run workshops in the cyanotype and argyrotypeprocess with adults and young artists as well as pinhole camera workshops.
I enjoy working with Museums, having collaborated with Bell Pettigrew Museum and MUSA in St Andrews University, Scottish Fisheries Museum, Brechin Townhouse Museum, Perth Museum and Gallery and Dundee Heritage Trust.
