Curriculum Vitae
after graduating from Grays school of art in 1999 i left my home on the isle of lewis and moved to glasgow to progress my career as an artist.I was offered a teaching post in Denmark shortly after where i taught and studied for several months.

During my time in Copenhagen i exhibited in a couple of galleries and on completion of my course i was offered a residency in Morocco. I turned down this offer as i want to develop and concentrate on my work here in Scotland.

My work is about the study of the human figure,its ergonomics,physical limits and its construction.I am fascinated by the transparency of skin and trying to capture the network of tones which flow beneath it.I find it more important for the painting to look "alive" than "real" in the photographic sense of the word. Of the many opportunities afforded me while at Scotlandart,one of these was a request from North Lanarkshire council for a commission which was presented to the first minister. It was hung in the Scottish Executive building after touring several scottish schools.
