Fireweed Exhibition

My first solo exhibition of works from my Fireweed series is happening in April 2024 at SaltSpace Gallery in Glasgow. I will show around 25 original paintings made by me that feature willow herb or fireweed through the seasons of summer, later summer, autumn and finishing at the start of winter. Please do come and visit.

Fireweed Paintings

This is a series of fireweed paintings that track the summer and autumn of 2023 both in terms of how willow herb plants change during that season but also themes of how a summer love waxed and waned over that time. Willow herb, which is one of Scotland’s most riotous and colourful plants is also known as fireweed because it grows where the soil has been disturbed after a fire. For me it symbolises joy and wildness and rebirth.
