Acrylic on canvas. 185cm X 100cm. A large piece depicting Anchor Mill, Paisley. Based (roughly) on a photo I took following the opening of the Big Art Show where ‘Salford Reflections‘ and ‘Lost Unicorn‘ are on display. The main theme of this piece is reclamation. The mill lay derelict for years, long after I left …
Acrylic on canvas, polyptych – 70cm (max) x 70cm (max). UV fluorescent colour and glow in abundance! I careted this piece during Pride Month 2022. Sadly the glow isn’t very easy to photograph. Although all of the panels do glow, the darker panels remain quite dim. This was a fun piece to create, from the …
Acrylic and UV on Canvas, 80cm x 80cm. 100 squares made from 400 triangles, which required 900 little strips of tape to make.

Acrylic, UV, Glitter and Spray paint on Canvas. 184cm x 100cm. The birthday piece is now complete. Glasgow Unicorn is one, and grown up. The piece has elements from almost every piece I’ve done, with some of my personal favourites represented more prominently, though two pieces have had a major update/upgrade.
Acrylic and UV pigment on Canvas, 150cm x 100cm. Based on a reference photo provided by an incredibly kind friend (Thanks, Saira!).
Acrylic on Canvas, 175cm x 100cm. Sometimes, going completely abstract produces the most enjoyable results. This was a quick piece, made for fun. I did a smaller test panel to see how the various paints would layer and interact.
Acrylic on Canvas, 175cm X 100cm. Depicts ‘Ralli Quays’ and it’s reflection on the River Irwell from the Albert Bridge. Technically, the reflection of the footbridge is in Manchester (the boundary between the cities is the middle of the river).
