The paintings and drawings that I completed covered an extensive and diverse range of landscapes, images of the arid lands of north western New South Wales, the ancient Kimberley coast of Western Australia, to the Gallipoli peninsular and the wilderness ‘wild-dear-ness’ of Scotland.
‘Edgelands’ the title of a joint exhibition in Edinburgh with Scottish artist Paul Martin at the Warburton Gallery in 2014 was part of an ongoing dialogue ‘of ‘ land and of our perceptions.
