I was born in Edinburgh and attended Edinburgh College of Art in the early 1980's. I have exhibited in numerous private galleries in Edinburgh over the years. My work has been included in the R.S.A. annual exhibitions on various occasions and I was represented for a time by the Contemporary Fine Art Gallery in Eton.
After concentrating for some years on painting figures, and abstract work, I am now focusing on still life - a subject that has always fascinated me. I like to take ordinary mundane objects and try to create a sense of mystery and harmony whilst maintaining a flatness to the overall composition. I use acrylic paint, building up transulcent layers of colour, working meticulously with a very small brush. This process takes time and requires a lot of patience.
