Settling in Cornwall soon after the turn of the millennium, the artist originally hailed from Scotland. He came south to attend Farnham School of Art and then pursued his painting career abroad in Florence, before returning to lecture at Guildford School of Art and West Surrey College of Art.

Living and working now at Hellesveor, St Ives, he paints the ever changing landscapes of West Cornwall depicting both calm and fearsome weathers and terrains. He is a regular exhibitor at the New Craftsman Gallery, St Ives.
