When I was young, the world made sense to me when I drew it on paper, and I never stopped.
I studied at Edinburgh College of Art, leaving in the early 90s, falling into jobs to make the rent and enjoy the big city. One day, I fell over and broke my arm. This gave me time at home to work in my bedroom - and thus the much-needed shove to get on with my career in making and selling work.
I’m inspired by life going on around me, people, places, moments of joy, moments of quiet that we sometimes enjoy, other times endure.
I make work that connects us, work with a never-ending wish to uplift our spirits.
