Professional Experience

I have been a professional artist for nearly 20 years and I am also an elected member of the Royal Scottish Society Of Painters In Watercolour, the Royal Glasgow Institute Of The Fine Arts and Paisley Art Institute.

I tend to be drawn to subjects that visually stimulate me. In addition, the process and the craft of making paintings are very important to me, so draughtsmanship, mark making, composition and the intelligent use of colour are all key tenets of my work. I try to make best use of these tools to create rich and dynamic paintings.
