The Nature of Things to Come Painting

I studied painting at Norwich University of the Arts (BA HONS) and Glasgow School of Art (MLITT). My practice articulates a post-apocalyptic worldview that combines humanities fading presence with elements from nature to question how long man will live in respect to deep time and to comment on the culpability of our actions against the environment for humans now and humans to come. Recent work uses the traditional medium of egg tempera to create works which integrate illusionary drawing and painting techniques with abstract minimalist surfaces. When viewed collectively, my paintings form a complex web of signification, where bursts of detail, colour and abstract forms add to the overall atmosphere and meaning. I have exhibited widely in the UK and internationally in Helsinki, New York and China. I currently live and work in Glasgow.
