"Drawing is the beginning of all my work and the first step in realising an idea. Then I let the drawings take their own path – I allow them to unfold and manifest themselves as perhaps a painting or print, or maybe a CAD drawing, a sculpture, an illustration or a tapestry.

I want my art to be a projection of my imagination onto the world. I try to avoid making art about a single idea, but rather create work that embodies a number of ideas or feelings. This creates a degree of artistic anonymity so allowing others to extract their own meaning and stories from within the art.

I've been visiting the West Coast of Scotland since I was a toddler. It's a place I love, and its magic and mystery have served to inspire much of my artwork. The creatures featured here have filled the landscape of my imagination and guided me towards some fantastical stories. The exhibition also showcases trading cards from the mythical land of Hazydale. The characters featured range from the benign to the tyrannical, with many surprises in between. I hope you enjoy the show."
