Coatbridge Together
A fusion of photography and digital artistry. This image begins as a layered collage of Coatbridge, with familiar views blended into a single composition. The final painterly effect transforms the photograph into a contemporary piece that pays homage to the town's enduring character.
A View from Girvan "Paddy's Milestone"
This image is an artistic rendering of Ailsa Craig, a prominent island in the Firth of Clyde, as seen from the mainland at Girvan. It is clearly styled to emulate the Impressionist movement, specifically reminiscent of Claude Monet's work.
Glasgow Together
Familiar Glasgow scenes are woven together into a single, dreamlike composition. Through digital artistry, the original photograph is transformed with painterly textures, creating a timeless piece that captures the city's enduring soul.
Largs Together
In this atmospheric work, time itself seems to ripple. The stoic, ghostly presence of a Viking warrior, a sentinel from the past, gazes out over a scene that is both familiar and centuries removed from his own time. Below him, the iconic Caledonian MacBrayne ferry waits at the pier, ready for its daily crossing, while the spire of St Columba's Parish Church rises towards a soft, clouded sky.
"Largs Together" is a poignant reflection on heritage and the unseen layers of history that define a location. It captures the unique character of Largs, a town where the echoes of battle are woven into the fabric of everyday life, creating a powerful dialogue between a dramatic past and a peaceful present.
