Statement

Statement

I am an artist who resides in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. I specialise in painting and digital art and draw inspiration from the world around me, exploring past experiences and current social issues. In my artwork, I convey profound and complex ideas through a simple and minimalist style. Through my use of colour, I like to communicate and strive for balance in compositions.

Whether my art is abstract or geometric, my goal is to express emotions and sensations. I tend to reflect on my experiences living in Ayrshire and Aberdeenshire, which then echo within my work. As I continue to create, my work evolves, and new ideas and feelings emerge.​

Memory plays a crucial role in my artistic process. I draw from personal experiences and recollections, evoking a sense of stripped nostalgia and introspection within my work. I intertwine tangible elements of the present with intangible impressions of the past, inviting viewers to reflect upon their own memories and emotions, and forging a connection between the art and their individual narratives.
