The Voyeur & The Participant Painting

Born in Glasgow in 1991, I am a young artist recently graduated from Gray’s School of Art, where I achieved a BA (Hons) in Painting together with a number of accolades including the SPD Annual Painting Award 2013 and the Morrison Construction Award, 2014. My recent work revolves around the concept of place and how it can be sculpted and transformed by the experiences of the inhabitant. Whether it be Glasgow high-rises, ghost towns in Loch Fyne or Grecian holiday resorts, I strive to ensure they are represented with a boldness and vibrancy that their inhabitants know they evoke. Since graduation, I have been accepted to the Artist Mentoring Programme with Impact Arts and have set up a studio in Glasgow Artist Studios, where I work on self-directed projects and commissions on a daily basis. My work has also featured at the Archie’s Art exhibition on November 12th – 13th and Shawland’s Arcade Art Village exhibition on 14th November, 2014.
