  • Biography

    Hello. I'm a photographer with my work showcased on my long standing photoblog.

    Engaged by the challenge to construct new and inventive interpretations, I look to the ever-changing possibilities of shore, sea and land. In 2017, having spent all my life on the south coast, I moved to rural north east Aberdeenshire.

    Exhibitions
    I have exhibited over 20 times in a sole and collaborative capacity principally showing project work including at the Royal Scottish Academy Open Exhibition, the Society of Scottish Artists at the RSA, the Royal Glasgow Institute of the Fine Arts and in 2016 and 2021 at the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition. In 2018 I had an Arts Council funded solo exhibition - Common Ground - at the Southampton City Art Gallery.

    Books
    I have had five books published each dealing with a project: 'Sea Fever', 'Ridge Trees', 'Common Ground', 'March Days' and 'Lime'.

    2018 Royal Scottish Academy Open Exhibition

    Event: Common Ground

    Dates: 2 Dec 2017 - 7 Apr 2018

    Venue: Southampton City Art Gallery, Southampton

    For the past four years my Common Ground photographic project has centred on the Common. It examines the spaces we inhabit and artistically interprets a landscape that has been subsequently shaped by human activity through management of this shared space.

    Event: Royal Scottish Academy Open Exhibition

    Dates: 22 Jul 2017 - 1 Oct 2017

    Venue: The Royal Scottish Academy, The Royal Scottish Academy, The Mound, Edinburgh, EH2 2EL

    Venue: Red House Museum and Gardens, Quay Road BH23 1BU Christchurch

    As a development of the long term Ridge Trees project that concentrates on a specific area of the New Forest, I have taken the forms, textures and attributes of the sea into this work. Bracken is seen as tumbling surf, fallen trees as crashing waves, and the deep blues and greens of a winter morning echo the colour of the deep cold sea.

    Event: Southbound

    Dates: 2 Mar 2015 - 1 May 2015

    Venue: Brighton Photography, 52-53 Kings Road Arches, Brighton BN1 2LN

    A new exhibition of unique, award-winning landscape photography from the country’s south eastern corner, by Valda Bailey, David Baker, Terry Gibbins and Finn Hopson.

    The South Eastern counties of England are not necessarily the first places that spring to mind when considering landscape photography. They are often dismissed as being too small, too busy or just too ‘easy’. The work of each of these photographers challenges that view. Each has their own unique approach to capturing this landscape, and the resulting images reflect an intimate knowledge of places that others often pass by.

    Venue: Lumas Notting Hill, 102 Westbourne Grove, London W2 5RU

    Treetops swaying gently to and fro, fragrant flowers as far as the eye can see – peace is never more tangible than it is in nature. Into the Woods, the new exhibition at LUMAS London – Notting Hill, is full of serene moments captured by four different artists. From classical photography to digital art, each work brings observers under its spell, taking them on a journey through the many sides of nature’s beauty.
