I am an 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 practice 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 Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art & Design, from which I graduated in 2026 with a first-class honours degree in Fine Art. I also received a John Kinross Scholarship to Florence and the Sandra McNeilance Memorial Award. I have exhibited in Dundee and Glasgow. And will shortly be exhibiting at the Pittenweem Arts Festival. 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. My figurative drawings are often left unresolved, reflecting the belief that humans themselves remain unresolved and ambiguous.
