Born in Manchester, I graduated from Kingston University London as an Architect. I successfully studied, practiced and taught architecture in London and New Zealand. Moving back from New Zealand to Scotland in 2006. I practiced architecture with Page\Park Architects in Scotland, working on a number of buildings including the Scottish National Portrait Gallery, Edinburgh University Buildings and for the Mount Stuart Estate on the Isle of Bute.

I began painting full time in 2017.
