I\u00a0 am predominantly a landscape painter, using acrylic on hardboard and hardback book covers. I am drawn to the woodlands, copses, plantations and other tree configurations of my surrounding area: Bj\u00f6rkhagen, Nackareservatet, \u00c4ltaf\u00e4ltet but also further afield: V\u00e4rmland, Sk\u00e5ne, Gotland and my native Scotland also feature in my work. I am interested in our relationship with the woodland and how it has developed: as a source of fuel, a hunting ground, the many symbols, the mystery and memory, and how it continues to affect our collective subconscious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are consistently trying to understand what the forest is. I aim to interpret the impression, the experience of landscape without trying to impose a pre-conceived order upon it.I see myself in the modern landscape tradition of Beckmann, Nolde and Kirchner and in Sweden by \u00c5ke Pallarp and Hans Viksten.
