Artist statement

Born in the north east of Scotland I knew all I wanted to do was draw. My inspiration has been driven by graphic realism and hand drawn intricate artwork from M C Escher to surrealists like Magritte. Each piece I create tells a story and lends itself to personal interpretation. Nature and wildlife and what lies beneath are the focus of my work this year.
