I’m a visual artist based in Fife, working primarily with drawing and text. I’ve always loved drawing, but its immediacy and straightforwardness really came into their own during the years I was deep in parenting, when it was hard to escape to make anything. When I do escape, it’s to printmaking, multiples and artists’ books. My work is driven by a curiosity about relationships and about how we come to understand both ourselves and one another. I’m drawn to domestic spaces as the places where relationships actually play out, and to the gap between the version of intimacy we see on TV and the version we live in real life. I’m currently working with pens, felt tips and tiny pieces of paper: things I can easily reach for and finish while living with a chronic condition.
