I am an international selling Scottish artist, creating from my studio in the heart of Scotland, UK. Since 2012, I have been exploring the transformative potential of recycled aluminium, turning discarded materials into striking and recognisable works of art.
This journey began with a visit to a local recycling centre, where a large container of used cans sparked a vision: to repurpose waste into something powerful, beautiful, and thought-provoking. From that moment, I dedicated myself to developing a unique artistic process that blends craftsmanship, sustainability, and innovation.
Each piece I create is more than a sculpture—it’s a statement. My aluminium artworks capture attention through their texture, reflective surfaces, and intricate detail, turning everyday discarded materials into objects of wonder.
These recycled metal artworks are now collected worldwide, resonating with audiences who value creativity, sustainability, and contemporary design. Through my artworks, I inviting you to reconsider waste, beauty, and the impact we have on our planet.
By nature, I have always been a creative thinker with a wild imagination. Making my artwork satisfies a basic need to create within me. The creation process gives me peace, fulfilment, and perspective. It offers some kind of structure and meaning in this vast, mad, unjust, world.
Growing up, I was very close to my grandad and even back then in the 1990’s he was big into reusing and recycling everything. This had a big influence on me and it was unconsciously nurturing my inner creativity during the time I spent with him, It wasn’t until later on that this started showing itself.
He would pick up items while we walked along the street, take them home, repair them, or turn them into something else. A bit embarrassing at times for me when he would stop and pick things off the ground in front of groups of other kids but I got used to it. Secretly inside I think I was strangely proud to be with him.
He was a great guy and with each year older and without him, I realise just how unique and important he was.
My sculptural metal artworks are shining a light, quite literally on how we are treating the environment we live in. Doing this in a visually aesthetic and non-threatening way.
My hope for these unique artworks is to be a gateway for conversations about our planet and our disposable way of life and perception of what beauty is.
As you interact and stand before the works, you catch glimpses of your own reflection, hopefully inspiring fresh points of view within yourself.
