BIO
I have grown up surrounded by history. From living in the haunted streets of Edinburgh to the crumbling castles of the highlands. It is the rich history such as this that has inspired my artwork.
It is the atmosphere and historical relevance of these places that has had such a major effect on me and ultimately what has inspired my work the most, especially the fables and stories coming from these places. I grew up hearing stories about the Ghillie Dubh and Seelies that would dwell under hills. By piecing these mythological and usually macabre stories with mediums such as paint and pen I have discovered that I can in a way transport individuals into the mindset of these stories through visuals.
I gain much of my inspiration from literature, and only begin on a piece once I have found something I cannot help becoming inspired by. Inspiration varies from classical literature and poetry to ancient myths and even modern day movies.
