'When I first came to the Island seven years ago, I had no close friends or family here – it was the gulls who lined up along the pier railings to welcome me off the ferry.  Birds have a way of being present in every glance through the window, their songs a constant backdrop, pitched high above the drone of urban life, their movements stirring the air around us whether or not we notice it.  Since my arrival, the Island birdlife has found its way into more of my paintings than I realised, and this exhibition is a reflection of just how important being surrounded by these lively and mysterious beings is in our daily lives.'
