I am a Scottish Visual Artist, currently lecturing within the animation department at De Montfort University, Leicester. I first studied traditional drawing and painting at the Leith School of Art, before graduating with a degree in Animation from Edinburgh University. I consider the skills of drawing, composition, and storytelling to be fundamental to any project I engage with. My overarching philosophy is to first cultivate a healthy creative personality with which to navigate the world, and meet each new endeavour. This outlook has led me towards increasingly unique and exciting opportunities for creative exploration.
I am equally excited in applying my skills to commissioned projects as I am to developing creative educational workshops and short courses. If you are visiting my website I would love to hear from you if you are interested in collaborating with me. Please contact me via my Instagram:
