He is inspired by the representational art of the late 19th century particularly that of the Glasgow boys, John Singer Sargent and Jules Bastien Le Page. He prefers painting naturalistic subjects from flowers in a still life to people in the environment. Careful observation and draughtsmanship form the foundations of his work. His goal is to capture the essence of his subjects as revealed in the subtleties of light, shade and colour but without a slavish attention to detail. Although still in the early stages of his career, his work is gaining recognition and has been used in advertising for television and print. He currently exhibits in galleries throughout the UK and at the historic Glasgow Art Club where he is an Artist Member.
