I am an artist living and working in Glasgow. I have been drawing for as long as I can remember, but I trained at art school in Cheltenham (where I grew up) and then at Edinburgh College of Art, where I had a traditional training in life and figurative drawing and painting.

My work has become more playful as I have become older and I no longer feel the pressure I perhaps once did of conforming to being a serious artist…whatever that means.  My work is eclectic, but with drawing being the basis of all I do.  Placards, cartoons, visual observations, animations.  I follow ideas that give me energy.  I make art to to engage with others. In more recent years social media has allowed me to share my work in a more immediate way, which I enjoy, and has injected a more of a sense of fun and humour into my work. I try to draw every day, even if it’s just a doodle.

Inspiration can come from anywhere, random events in everyday life, the quirks of human and animal relationships, the environment, music and a smattering of politics.
