Born in the Highlands of Scotland, I recall drawing from an early age; obsessively drawing and re-drawing pictures, trying to achieve perfect scale and efficient ways of devising images.

Through this compulsive process, and drawing on my education in illustration and design, I developed a practice which draws upon classical Flemish painting techniques, devising increasingly complex and imaginative scenes. Now based in London, my paintings focus on the personalities of ‘the very average man’; intriguing characters, free from idealist values, set in dark, convincing scenes.
