Pressed seaweed pictures depicting the beautiful fragility of these algae which help to cool and clean our oceans. Also picture cards of Uist

I use natural organic seaweed florals which I like to hand gather on the low tide. Different seasons produce a variety and shapes and colours from brilliant pinks and oranges to browns and blacks. I hand press them to make unique crafted pictures. I also photograph Uist wild flowers and the naturally beautiful scapes of land, sea and sky. The prints make gift cards which showcase these spectacular islands, and importantly highlight our need to preserve and mitigate the effects of climate change here.
