Originally from Fife, I am a recent graduate of Edinburgh College of Art with a BA (Hons) in Painting. I began 2025 with a three-month residency at Edinburgh Sculpture Workshop and I currently work as a Sessional Art Worker with Edinburgh Children’s Hospital Charity.
My practice focuses on sculptural assemblages and 3D paintings constructed from crudely manufactured materials such as cardboard, clay, and other discarded items. These are forcefully bonded with hot glue and disguised with garish layers of paint and pastel. By incorporating scrap materials like fabric, packaging, and general detritus, I create unconventional subjects that explore aspects of everyday life. Though not traditionally aesthetically pleasing, the works are deeply recognisable and narratively rich. They are affectionate odes to the eccentric characters of our complex contemporary world.
The featured work portraying a UK high street is an irreverent take on the concept of the traditional idyllic model village.
