I work as an Artist in Residence at the following schools:

Mondays at St Patricks Primary School, 10 Perth Street, Glasgow, G3 8UQ

Thursdays and Fridays at St Rose of Lima Primary School, 295 Mossvale Road, Glasgow, G33 5QS.

As an artist I want everyone to have the opportunity to experience the arts because I believe the arts have the power to transform lives.

Encouraging, engaging and involving young people in the creative process helps them to develop key creative and critical-thinking skills that are necessary to succeed in our rapidly changing world.

It takes an entire community of concerned teachers, parents, carers, business leaders and elected officials to ensure that young people are not only surviving, but thriving and I consider it an absolute privilage to be part of that in my own small way. Encouraging the next generation to embrace their creativity and reach their full pottential!

I have full disclosure for  working with children and vulnerable adults and I am also a qualified discover, explore, bronze and silver Art Awards advisor for Arts Awards UK.

Back to the Present Project 2012-2014 - Stirling Castle

A contemporary photographic project using early Victorian photographic process.

Centuries of Stirling Castle's pivotal role in Scottish history have been documented in many forms over the years.The advent of photography in the middle of the nineteenth century enabled Stirling Castle and its inhabitants to be recorded in a unique way thanks to the cutting edge technology of the day.

In the 1860's the castle was a military garrison, populated by the Queen Victoria's Highland soldiers. The soldiers based at Stirling Castle served throughout the British Empire, fighting wars and securing British interests.

The advent of the 'wet collodion' photographic process allowed the new photographers to work with relatively quick exposure times often between 5-30 seconds duration. The process was also portable using a mobile darkroom, which allowed location and early documentary work to be undertaken.

One hundred and fifty years on we undertook to use the same Victorian 'wet collodion' process to record the Historic Scotland staff and visitors who currently occupy and visit the castle and of course, to photograph the castle and buildings as they are today.

The staff represented includes guides, cooks, gardeners, cleaners and administration staff. The visitors represent the many people who come to the castle each day from the United Kingdom and from across the globe.

Thank you to all who took part in this project and to all at Historic Scotland Stirling Castle for their enthusiastic commitment.
