Freelance Scenic Artistry has pulled me in so many directions, as an alumni of the BA arts degree at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, I am naturally drawn to the bold and fantastical world of Theatre. I have had the pleasure of working with various theatre workshops over the years, but have recently forged new ventures in the Film and TV industry. Being a varied profession, it allows me to apply nuanced skills and techniques needed for the individual tasks and challenges each job brings. 

​

My work has also lead me into Mural painting and collaborative installations, this art form is unlike that of a set for stage or screen as its permanence sets the stage for a more emotive and involved method of work as well as that of the response from the audience and/or public.

“Scenic Art is a specialism that encompasses all types of applied arts, including the freedom to use an unlimited range of materials to interpret and bring designers dreams and visions into reality. This ever-changing skill set makes this profession a creative adventurer’s dream.

I love working on large scale projects — like large cloths or huge set pieces — this allows the most freedom and expression when it comes to applying paints and textures, I also find a great sense of satisfaction and accomplishment when completed as they are so much more visually dynamic and impressive.”
