About Me

I am a Scottish Graduate Artist based in Brighton, England.  I studied at Edinburgh College of Art participating in a 4 year Painting BA(Hons) Degree and a study exchange at the Hungarian University of Fine Art in Budapest, Hungary.  I graduated in July 2016 and have since continued pursuing my artistic career. 

Within my practice I mainly engage with imagery that is both ambiguous and provocative.  I turn the focus towards the viewer, highlighting aspects of their preconceptions in order to ultimately provoke a dialogue concerning the field of ideas raised by each artworks subject.

The compositions I create are designed to perceive an image of obscurity.  I am currently focusing on the fusion of classism with contemporary to evoke reaction by conceptually and visually communicating current social issues. I have previously demonstrated this through the use of the female form in combination with various intricate textures and details.  I am continuing to create oil paintings of sculptural masterpieces from renaissances onwards connecting us to the past and what lies ahead of us.
