As a contemporary oil painter originating from Scotland and raised in Whakatane, Aotearoa, I've always had a fascination for the power of art to convey emotions and transcend language barriers. It wasn't until I turned 27 that I fully embraced my artistic calling and haven't looked back since. My paintings are a celebration of the beauty and diversity of the world we inhabit, fueled by my passion for exploring new cultures and perspectives.
