A small stand of ancient sessile oaks (Quercus petraea) lies close to Lochwood Tower, near Moffat, Dumfries & Galloway. These trees are the surviving remnants of a long-established oak forest dating back many centuries, and include individuals of great age and character.
This valuable population of veteran trees now supports an important range of wildlife and lichens.

Studied at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art in Dundee, completing a four year degree course in Fine Art in the department of Drawing and Painting in 1986. During the foundation year at Art College I was introduced to 35mm film photography and given the opportunity to learn developing and printing techniques. I really enjoyed these classes and was lucky enough to be taught by Joseph McKenzie, regarded by many as the ‘Father of Modern Scottish Photography’. I have continued to be interested in photography ever since - and now enjoy exploring the creativity possible using digital techniques. Photography has renewed my wonder in the detail found in nature - it always challenges your preconceptions and constantly surprises you with its beauty.
