I was born in Scotland, migrating with my family to Australia when young as part of the "20pounders", a British migrant scheme. We settled in Sydney, and as a teenager I migrated to the north coast of NSW where most of my art has been created.
As a practicing artist for the past 25 years I have been through many different phases in my career, exploring many avenues of art making. I began studying art when I was 17 attending Meadowbank TAFE . Since then I have experimented with most painting mediums favouring oils and pastels, I also developed small sculptures in ceramics and other materials. After completing a B.A. at Southern Cross Uni, I worked on large scale pastels in a figurative style for the corporate market in Queensland. From these works emerged the still life & interior narratives where objects took on personal meanings, the work is strongly influenced by inner reflections about life around us.
