Born: 1977 Education: BA (Hons) in Fine Art at Grays School of Art, Aberdeen, Post Graduate at Edinburgh University, Collections: Royal Scottish Academy's Permanent Collection, Coopers and Lybrand, Private Collections Worldwide. "My work is predominately focussed on painting animals and wildlife. I try to capture their essence through painting intricately with miniature brushes building up the details with very fine lines - similar to a drawing. I live outside Edinburgh and my work has been exhibited in galleries throughout the UK - including the Royal Scottish Academy and the Mall galleries in London where my work has been selected for the Threadneedle prize and the Discerning Eye exhibition."
