The Scottish Game of Thrones: War of Independence

The Scottish Game of Thrones is a larger series that depict the succession of the Scottish monarchy with each monarch telling their own story in how they contributed to the course of Scottish history through the games they played.

This selection of 4 images tells the story of the Scottish War of Independence, starting with the death of Alexander III, which left the country in turmoil as there was no direct heir to the throne. After his granddaughter, Margaret, The Maid of Norway, died en route to Scotland, John Balliol was appointed and used as a puppet king by Edward of England, until he was exiled and Edward took direct control. With two claimants to the Scottish throne remaining, the country in turmoil and no resolution in sight, Robert Bruce killed fellow claimant John Comyn and claimed the Throne.

My aim is to inspire my audience to learn more about the Scottish Monarchy as this only brushes the surface.

My mission is to create new and distinctive art photography, blending mixed media to tell enchanting stories rooted in history, tourism, and Scottish heritage. Through clever and magical still life compositions, I aim to inspire individuals to explore and engage with the narratives that have shaped our world, creating a visual journey that sparks a deep connection with the past.

I am originally from Canada and gained a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Mount Allison University in 2000 where I focused on painting and Photography. I use my skills to create objects and props to help me tell unique stories when I create my magical and distinctive art photography.

I have lived in Scotland for the past 18 years and have been inspired by the the rich history that surrounds me. I love presenting these amazing stories in a way that engages people and can spark their love for this great place.
