Here & Elsewhere at Fire Station Creative

Here & Elsewhere at Fire Station Creative

I was delighted to be offered a solo show at Fire Station Creative.

Set in the beautiful ancient town of Dunfermline, a former fire station has been turned into a cultural hub. Here I am showing works that have developed over the past 6 years since the pandemic. All the pieces have been created using some form of printmaking and the images are based around our experiences and connection to the natural world.

A big thank you to the Hope Scott Trust for awarding me funds towards an installation piece at my solo show Fire Station Creative.

I’m very excited to see how this piece impacts on future works.

Outer Spaces Scotland

Outer Spaces supports the creative and professional development of artists through studio and project spaces, awards, commissioning and partnerships.

I feel very lucky to have a beautiful clean space, albeit temporary, at one of the central Outer Spaces Buildings in Edinburgh. It is wonderful to have a space between home and Edinburgh Printmakers, where I do all the practical and technical aspects of printing making and now development into laser cutting.

‘The Thread that Pulls’ VAS

‘The Thread that Pulls’ VAS

My work ‘Felt’ was selected for the biannual Visual Arts Scotland show 2025.

The work ‘Felt’ was inspired by Eugene Gendlin who first termed the idea of ‘Felt Sense’ and refers to the immediate, non-verbal, bodily awareness of one’s relationship to a specific environment or situation, often carrying an implicit meaning or understanding that is not always possible to verbally articulated.

The show is held at The Royal Scottish Academy and yet again beautifully curated by selected VAS hanging committee.
