After graduating from art school I worked in a stained glass studio in Edinburgh and now have my own company designing, exhibiting, and restoring stained glass windows. While living in Edinburgh I also played guitar in bands The Butch Numbers, and RAAR.
In 2005 I returned to the Black Isle, and to drawing and painting. I live and work with my wife, the artist Pamela Tait.
