I really wanted to focus on positivity, vibrancy and looking forwards. I kept the original Gorgie-Dalry legacy logo as a starting point (You can still find it on many of the road names in the area.) I’ve then tried to represent as many countries and nationalities as possible. with native flowers. I wanted then to appear to grow out of and thrive from the central logo hub and weave their way along the bridge. Thanks to Edinburgh Council and Taziker.

Street Art mural in association with SWG3 and Yardworks. Glasgow. inspired by the changing of the seasons and with a interpretation of mother nature as a sort of 1970s vibe. I painted a lot of the background with neon paint which has had a lovely effact of fading over time so the piece really agres with the charachter as she battles against the elements, looking over a pretty traffic heavy,industrial part of the city.

Hit The North Street Art Festival Belfast, 2024 I am always fascinated by a story in celtic folklore. Witches ( persecuted women) could shapeshift into hares asa disguise and hide amonge the flowers. Bluebells or harebells as they are known in scotland are often connected to this imagary.

Gable end.Yardworks street art and graffiti fesival. SWG3 Glasgow 2023. Based on a original sketch I had done of my friend looking for the pigs at her farm. The design was asked to be altered to bees instead. In hindsight, I wish i'd not changed or adapted it differently. This one was a big learing curve on some elements of process so I'm still proud of it in other ways!
