Experience
Experience working with Scottish artists Nichol Wheatley and Alasdair Gray on murals and their general upkeep in Òran Mór in Glasgow, Scotland. Also helped work on a privately commissioned mosaic with Nichol Wheatley for a client of his. I spent the Spring and Summer of 2015 working as an Arts Assistant at Jupiter Artland, a sculpture park outside Edinburgh, Scotland. My duties were to invigilate on the vast collection of the sculpture park, general maintenance, customer services and lending a hand in the install and deinstall of exhibiting artist’s work. One such example of this was during the Summer season at the sculpture park when I assisted American artist Tara Donovan with her art installations.
Commissioned Work
During early 2015 I was commissioned by a friend to design a logo for his band ‘Wonderboy’, which was subsequently used during the promotion of themselves as a band and their gigs, and across their social media.
At the start of Spring 2023 I was commissioned to design a poster/flier for the Filmhouse in my hometown, Milnathort, for their Spring season of events starting in May. Posters were placed on noticeboards and shop windows around Milnathort and Kinross, as well as being included in the May issue of the Kinross Newsletter.
