Cunningham

I’m a Scottish artist and lifelong creative driven by a rebellious spirit and a refusal to live a conventional life. Art is how I challenge monotony, turn imagination into reality, and create pieces that bring energy, emotion, and meaning into people’s spaces around the world. Inspired by ancient history, poetry, nature, and a deep love of storytelling, I paint from both instinct and curiosity, inspired by the Scottish landscapes, ancient folklores and mythical energies that made up this land, and all the books I read growing up! Alongside creating in my studio, I teach art workshops across Scotland and study Creative Writing at the Open University. I’m always searching for new ways to grow, create, and inspire others to do the same.
