About


I am painter from Scotland. My work is a gestural exploration of everyday life and the relationships that emerge between painting, material and site through making. I paint on found materials using water based pigments that allow the image to saturate into the fabric of the painting itself by pooling, staining, and sinking them into the surface of the work. I use my phone camera as an extension of my body to capture compositions that erode hierarchies of sight and result in fleeting, fragmented paintings that play with the modern nature of images in our habitual lived experiences.

I believe that painting is a shared, lived experience rather than a singular event- my work rewards long looking as a way of fostering intimacy and connection with one another, particularly in the face of wider bureaucratic harm.

I currently live and work in London with Conditions Studio Programme.
