Projects:
Campsie High Kirk
I worked with the charity ‘Friends of Campsie High Kirk’ to provide visuals and designs for their proposal to restore a ruined church building in Lennoxtown. These visuals are to help the charity communicate their vision for the building to the public.
This is an artwork inspired by travelling minstrels in medieval Spain who would travel and display murals to broadcast news.
​
I recreated this concept by walking from Glasgow to Dundee with a rolled up canvas and invited the public to write and draw on the canvas.
​
I added these results into the design of a bell which I cast in bronze.
About Me.
I am an artist based in Scotland, my skills range from casting in bronze and glass, to painting and digital art.
I also tutor art classes, most recently in painting.
​
I am particularly interested in heritage and the built environment, using digital media to reconstruct historic sites and to give an impression of the past.
I use these digital skills to create 3D environments and architectural visualisations.
