I spend lots of time on local beaches in the Highlands of Scotland, with my dogs Harry and Cate.
I found myself picking up sea glass initially, and then discovered that beach pebbles have a certain beauty too.
I took some home and started to experiment. I found it was possible to make quite striking pictures using both pebbles and glass.... and my obsession began.
I'm on the local beach in all weathers and travel around coastal areas on the hunt for pieces and shapes that I can use. Beachcombing is a tremendous buzz, coming home, cleaning then sorting what I've found is exciting, and planning, making and seeing a finished picture is so rewarding.
All these elements can be time consuming, especially when I strive for perfection! but seeing the pleasure on a buyer's face is truly awesome.
I am always open to a challenge, so if you don't see what you're looking for, I am very happy to take bespoke orders.
