About the Artist
My main interest has always been portraiture. After studying art at Edinburgh University and living in Scotland for twenty years, exhibiting across the UK, my serious work now reflects how society molds our thinking and how we represent ourselves.
Especially now, with social media, what we show the world is often a far stretch from our own reality.
