He graduated in animation from the Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art & Design in Dundee and is known for whimsical, detailed artworks filled with animals, plants, and fantastical elements. His style features thin line art, low saturated colours, and a strong influence from wildlife and the natural world, often drawing outdoors for inspiration.
