I came to art in a roundabout way. After an MA in philosophy and a very short stint in corporate Singapore, I worked for many years as a graphic designer, specializing in book cover design. I lived the digital nomad's life and for a decade managed to escape winter.It was only late into my thirties that I rediscovered my passion for the slow process of making intricate art. My parents like to remind me that, back in fourth grade, I spent a whole semester meticulously painting each individual petal on each individual flower of an apple tree in bloom. So perhaps the unhurried, deliberate art practice has always been my way.Nowadays, I hide away on a small island on the west coast of Scotland, still taking occasional book cover commissions and spending most of my time at an easel, wielding a pen or a pencil.While I don't have a degree in art, to say that I am self-taught would not be strictly accurate. I constantly improve my skills by taking online and in-person classes and I look to other artists who inspire me: Jono Dry, Luke Adam Hawker, Roberta Boffo, Kerby Rosanes, and Seb Lester, among others.
