Profile
Originally a migrant from Scotland, I now live on the beautiful northcoast of nsw australia, which has been my inspiration for the past 30 years. My main mediums are oil painting and pastels and i also work in sculptural mediums when the mood hits me. Im a figurative artist, interested in creating a narrative with use of symbolism in my paintings. I have been inspired by many subjects, from landscapes to interiors, and my family. My latest works are based on a local childrens circus.
My work has won many awards over the years and my work is in corporate and private collections. I am currently represented by Paul du plessis investment gallery,Gallery 82 in Hyde Park Adelaide.
