Currently working from a studio in London and drawing on his international experiences, he explores the relationship between the individual and nationality, through his work that is concerned with the nature of identity.
A Scotsman by birth, he has now lived away from Scotland for many years. By looking back to his formative years, he is able to contrast his emotions from living in other countries. An intense awareness of his Scottish background has caused him to analyse the political, cultural and social elements that define the Scottish culture and its inextricable links with tartan.
The reassessment of identity through fine art is timely and highly relevant in the world today, where the importance of a sense of place and identity has seldom been more important to the individual.
Please enquire for about current availability and price. The artist is also available for fine art commissions.

Her humorous view of the world brings a magical quality to the many childrens books that she has illustrated.

Her paintings on wood bring a three dimensional touch to interior design and living, as well as creating lasting childhood memories. The quirky sculptures and mosaics that adorn her house in France, reflect the passion of an artist, to draw out the art in everything around her.
