I paint the places you love.

I grew up watching the light change over the Moray Firth. I paint the kind of places people carry with them: the Scottish coast, the hills, the sea.

Everything here is made from scratch, in my studio in Nairn. From building the frames to stretching the canvas, I do my work end-to-end.
