Born 1949. Trained at the Glasgow School of Art and started painting full time in 1998 after a career as a lecturer and teacher in art and design. He is a frequent contributor to The Scottish Societies including the Royal Academy. He is interested in the architecture of the East Coast towns and the fishing villages of Scotland. Inspired by the east coast of Scotland, its architecture and evidence of the hand of man on the landscape. Vigorous handling and strong design are hallmarks of his painting. Simplification and stylisation, strong colour and bold composition are an emotional expression of feeling about the subject.
