A bit about me…
I am an ink artist working from my studio in rural Scotland. I create detailed depictions of the natural world using ink. I’m drawn to animals and the nature, and find that my style captures their essence nicely.
I have grown as an artist, and my style is always evolving. I have settled upon black ink as my medium of choice, but do enjoy experimenting with colour and different materials when the mood takes me. I take great joy in my work, in creating something true to form with personality. My life is full and beautiful, and I find this is reflected in my work.

My Work
My Sketchbook
A sketchbook is a place where magic is born. It’s a place for experimenting, trying new things and generally making a mess. It is a place to capture and record memories. Here is a sneak peek into mine.
Pet Portraits
If you have a pet, you will understand the special bond that exists and how they can unexpectedly dominate our lives. A pet portrait is a wonderful way to honour a beloved member of the family, past or present.
Tattooing
My tattooing style reflects my style as an artist. I am most at home tattooing things from nature, either by machine or handpoked. I only work with black and grey ink.
