My Story So Far... The Short Version

 

I live in Ayr, Scotland, with my wonderful girlfriend, Stephanie. We share our home with a tank full of fish and a dog named Bella

I've been passionate about drawing since I first learned to hold a pencil. At school, I was often caught doodling when I should have been doing math or practicing my alphabet.

As I grew up, drawing remained a cherished pastime. Friends and family frequently encouraged me to pursue a career in art, but I always lacked the confidence, fearing I wasn't good enough.

After secondary school, I decided to take a step towards my passion. I studied art and graphics at Ayr College from 2001 to 2003.

Following college, I worked various jobs to pay the bills while quietly honing my pencil skills at home. In 2010, I moved to a bigger house, and since then, I've focused on building my studio, taking on commissions to build a local reputation, and creating my website.

I'm eternally grateful to Stephanie for her patience and support over the years. I haven't always been easy to live with, but her encouragement has helped me reach this point. As I begin this new chapter in my career, I have peace of mind knowing she's by my side.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story. I hope to hear from you soon.
