I am a Glasgow-based visual artist working across painting, drawing, and collage. My practice embraces instinctiveness and impulsive movement, with harsh figurative line work informed by automatism and naïve art. Rooted in personal experience, while some of my work reflects on growing up after the charged political landscape in Northern Ireland, I am continuously investigating the present and how the past interacts with the current domain. I reconstruct these memories as crude, disjointed scenes in a diaristic manner, reflecting my own relationship with memory and emotional landscapes

My work balances the confessional and the analytical, drawing on memory and emotion, often taking on radical forms that I utilise as a queer artist. This approach allows space for messiness, contradiction, and refusal both visually and conceptually. I combine fragments of found media in my paintings, materials that hold specific emotional and personal resonance to explore the relationship between inside and outside, both through domestic and social spaces, and as a dialogue between internal and external worlds. In doing so, I trace the societal structures and ideologies that shape my identity and experience.

Recurring motifs, such as grid-like structures and mise en abyme, are present throughout my works. Sometimes subtle, this form helps unify my practice, grounding it in the same visual world while allowing for different levels of that world to emerge.

Intuition and the absurdity of fading memories run through my work, framing personal environments and distorted figures as tools for psychological storytelling, and revealing how personal histories intersect with cultural mythologies to shape the spaces we inhabit, inside and out.
