Artist Statement
I’m a Glasgow-based artist working primarily with watercolour, exploring its potential beyond traditional expectations. Since graduating from Edinburgh College of Art with a BA (Hons) in Painting, my practice has focused on challenging the flatness often associated with the medium, using it instead to build form, depth, and movement.

Much of my work revolves around process – particularly the tension between control and unpredictability. I often use gravity as a tool, allowing pigment to melt and move across the surface in a way that feels both spontaneous and intentional. This controlled flow creates organic structures that blur the line between the planned and the accidental.

Minimalism is central to my approach. I’m interested in distilling visual elements to their essence – removing excess to create space for subtlety, emotion, and interpretation. By stripping things back, I aim to invite a slower, more considered way of looking.

Watercolour is often seen as delicate and contained, but I see it as something with far more possibility. Through experimentation and repetition, I try to stretch what it can do – shifting it into something sculptural, expressive, and unexpected.
