My recent work revolves around the concept of place and how it can be sculpted and transformed by the experiences of the inhabitant. Whether it be Glasgow high-rises, ghost towns in Loch Fyne or Grecian holiday resorts, I strive to ensure they are represented with a boldness and vibrancy that their inhabitants know they evoke. I also take interest in portraiture and geometrical abstracts and am available for commissions.
I have set up a studio in Southside Studios, where I work on self-directed projects and commissions on a daily basis. I have recently became involved with a visual artist network called The Locale, which features a community of artists whose practice revolves around the subject of place and its universal influence. I have also been involved with a network known as the Visual Artist Unit, a collective of emerging artists across Scotland who aimed to showcase an array of fresh contemporary faces with new and innovative approaches to visual art.
