 “beautiful, layered and thoughtful work” Jan Patience, The Sunday Post 

“You know when you find something in your pocket that you picked up then forgot? Familiar but unknown, a wee treasure, your fingers feel around its surfaces, its edges. Not until you pull it out of your pocket and see it in your hand do you know what it is. My art has long been about exploring the shapes and edges of stuff, kind of like that.” 

I make finely-worked and repeatedly layered oil paintings on linen panels or over Polaroids. My latest works combine cooking pots or bowls and shell-like forms, with thoughts on journeys across water, handed-down memories and landscape lines, rendered via oft-reworked paint surfaces.  

Having trained at The University of Leeds (BA, 1990, MA 1991) I have been a painter for over 30 years. I moved permanently from London to Glasgow in 2017. I am a Professional Artist member of the SSA and also a member of VAS and Scottish Contemporary Arts Network. My paintings are held in private and corporate collections worldwide.
