- Biography
I am an artist/musician working from Fife in Scotland.
I work primarily in Acrylic and Oil/Cold-Wax-Medium
My artistic influences include Edward Dugmore, Otakar Kubín, Emil Nolde.
My musical influences include Brian Eno, Halftribe and Olafur Arnalds.
As a self-taught artist and musician, formerly an engineer, I find the practical solution focus of engineering complements how I execute an artistic and musical idea into a creation.
I aim for my artwork to give an immediate strong, simple, visual impact, which upon further evaluation starts to unveil new insights. When I compose music, I strongly associate this concept with a hook in a song, which does the same thing audibly.
