I studied illustration at Edinburgh College of Art, and animation at the Royal College of Art in London. I create illustrations, prints, murals and animation.
I enjoy cities, drawing inspiration from the people and architecture around me, always starting with drawing from life. I lived in Walthamstow, London for several years, creating prints of some of the neglected buildings in the area.
I lectured on animation for ten years at Barnet F.E. College, North London and have curated illustration shows with the illustrator Andrew Baker. We now live and work in Edinburgh, with our sons.
