I’m originally from Glasgow, Scotland. I moved to the United States in\u20281997 and brought the accent with me. These days I’m based in Dunedin,\u2028in the Tampa Bay area, painting murals for restaurants, museums,\u2028offices and homes.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

I’ve been painting by hand for over 25 years \u2014 old-world techniques,\u2028modern finishes. Venetian plaster, taught to me by a third-generation\u2028Italian master, and faux finishes that can mimic marble, wood grain\u2028and plaster.<\/p>

You’ll find my work in Bon Appetit Restaurant, Lucky Lobster\u2028Restaurant, Clear Sky Draught Haus and The Collection on Palmetto\u2028Museum \u2014 and in private homes all over Tampa Bay.\u2028\u2028<\/p>

Underneath it all, I studied colour therapy and the psychology of\u2028colour \u2014 how the colours around us change how we feel. That quiet\u2028science sits under every wall I paint.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
