Having been drawn to art and painting from an early age, on leaving school I originally trained as an architectural draughtsman with a prestigious Edinburgh firm in Edinburgh’s Hill Street. Although this taught me discipline and technical skills, the freedom of artistic expression has always been my passion.
Although I am now based in Kelso, for many years I lived in Cove on the Scottish east coast, where big skies and crashing waves dominate and shape the landscape. It is these landscapes that inspire my work as I try to capture the energy and light that give atmosphere and drama to this stretch of the Scottish coastline.
