I work in oils as they provide the greatest variety of visual and textural effects and the richest colour of any single medium. Their slow drying characteristics allow me to continually experiment with techniques to create the illusion of depth and three-dimensionality.

I like to create art which reflects the complex and changing world of today while respecting the rich tradition of the past.

Being self-taught, I have enjoyed the various challenges that each and every painting has presented, which has allowed me to grow and develop as an artist.

I have now retired after 30 years in the Scottish Fire & Rescue Service. My wife and I have now settled within the Argyll & Bute area, which we love. I now have the time to fully follow my passion in art.

A warm welcome awaits. I look forward to meeting you if you decide to drop in.
