Profile

I have exhibited nationally and internationally since the 1980s and my work is represented in public and private galleries throughout the world. Painting is the core activity, but I have recently been exploring photographic and digital possibilites.

I make muti-faceted cultural references in my work such as sport and games and their rules and rituals, as well as sport"s theatrical arenas which suggest incidents and events, real or imagined.

I am collaborating with a spatial designer developing painting, photographic and object based work for a newly refurbished installation space in Edinburgh.
