I am a Scottish interdisciplinary 2D artist whose work explores how observational experience shifts into emotional atmospheres. Growing up in Glasgow and now living in rural Perth & Kinross, I returned to art in 2019 through life-drawing classes at the Leith School of Art, after a lengthy career in the public sector. This sparked my formal study at DJCAD, which I started in 2023 and expect to graduate from in 2026, with plans for further research through a master’s in fine arts. My work has been shown in Dundee, and I have taught Life Drawing, Colour, and Collage classes. I focus on figurative studies because they offer a universally legible subject that remains open to interpretation. I am particularly interested in how posture, balance, mark making and weight convey internal states without necessarily relying on a narrative. I often keep my process visible, especially in drawings, making the surface a record of observation, hesitation, and revision
