About

As a Creative Coordinator I work in a variety of visual mediums, including: Art, Film, Animation, and Photography.

I've produced work for a range of clients including: Mercedes-Benz UK, Scottish Women's Football, Green Hotel Golf & Leisure Resort, Olive Grove Records, Dice Productions, Kilted Christmas Tree Company, and Kinross Curling Rink.
My work has been featured by: Icon Film Distribution, SwissInstitute.net, IotaCentre, Filmhouse, The Royal Caledonian Curling Club, The View From The Hack, Skip Cottage Curling, and Max Power (defunct car magazine).

As an Artist I create landscape and portrait paintings using either watercolours, Photoshop, or acrylics. I also experiment with caricature and participated in the Dutch monthly drawing blog Project Onomatopee until it finished.
As a Filmmaker I enjoy producing music videos and promos; covering sporting events; and general experimentation (with both animation and live-action).
As a Photographer I focus on sporting events, documentation, and landscapes.

This blog showcases my creative works, and is updated with posts that document both the influences and working processes of new artworks as they are completed.
