abandoned exhibition

---

 Having the opportunity to work collaboratively with Angus Mackay Photographer, has really inspired me to create pieces of work that I am proud to showcase in the Abandoned exhibition.  My pieces complement Angus's work, and are a collection of my favourite abandoned houses in Caithness and Sutherland.   
I enjoy painting landscapes that I have an emotional connection with and that I find thought-provoking – especially old uninhabited houses that tell a story of a time and place. I gather most of my inspiration by exploring the landscapes of Caithness in all weathers with my horse Fudge! I like finding out about the history of the houses and hearing stories about the people who lived there. The houses that I am particularly drawn to are the ones that are in the most rural locations, and usually in the most beautiful surroundings. I always wonder who lived there and what their lives would have been like. I feel emotional about walking in the footsteps of a time past, and what memories these old buildings must hold.
I have produced a number of paintings on canvas for the exhibition, framed drawings and canvas prints. There will also be limited edition prints and cards available to buy.
