Artist Statement / About

I am a Glasgow-based artist working predominantly in oils. My work explores the quietude and ever-changing character of the Scottish landscape and its surrounding islands — from the mountains of the north to the playful, unexpected moments of city life, like Bart Simpson–styled bouncy castles.

Through painting, I try to capture both the stillness and the vitality of the places I encounter: the shifting weather, the textures of land and sea, and the small, human touches that sit within these larger landscapes.

I currently work from my studio in Glasgow city centre.
