Hello! Thank you for visiting my website.

I am a multi-discipline artist based in Dundee. I am currently studying Fine Art at DJCAD.

I was born and raised in Virginia, USA to a Scottish father and an American mother. Because of this I grew up with a foot on either side of the Atlantic. My practice is heavily influenced by my upbringing and the the unique experiences it offered. My most recent project, focuses on a narrative of migration and belonging told through birds.

I work in a range of mediums including but not limited to oil painting, digital, bookmaking, woodburning, and photography. Mainly I am a 2D artist but ocasionally I have worked in 3D. I encorporate writing into my work often with one of my most recent projects including an illustrated short story printed in book format.

I am the creator and lead of Exoskeletons, a self-published magazine that offers students the chance to publish their work while in university. We've released two issues and featured over 30 artists so far.
