Born in North East Scotland in 1968 and raised by wolves. Now based in Edinburgh, Scotland.

My image ' The Watchers’, one of two finalists in the Saatchi showdown competition, was shown in the Saatchi gallery.

I have a number of projects that I am adding artworks to. My main current ongoing project is Mythoslogos - The ancient Greeks made sense of their world not only by logic but by myth too. They saw it was necessary to view things in these opposing ways in order to have a balanced understanding of their lives.

I feel we have moved out of that balance, unconsciously letting go of that mythic element to our lives. As a result we've lost touch with our own personal vision and creativity. We let a dogmatic scientific perspective rule everything, from our dreams to our notions of the spiritual.

So in this series I try to reflect on this, creating images that sometimes imagine a world where logic has been usurped by the mythical, or images that mock our need to analyse and break down those parts of our life that we should truly respond to more intuitively.

Here is a video link to a talk I gave on some of my MythosLogos images
