  • Biography
I work from observation, memory and imagination. I have developed my own blend of magical realism and expressionism where I seek a balance of the familiar and strange, the recognisable and a sense of ‘otherness’. I look for the extraordinary in the ordinary and my work is shaped by an empathy and solidarity towards all living things.

My artwork has been widely shown, including the prestigious John Ruskin, Lynn Painter Stainers Prize, and Trinity Buoy Wharf Exhibition. I have shown my work with each Scottish exhibiting society and had work selected for the inaugurail Scottish Landscape Awards. My first award was from RSA, followered by others including four VACMA's. In 2023 I was appointed Vice President of Visual Arts Scotland. I recently completed a commission for an eight metre permanent public artwork.
