Each painting in the Synaesthesia collection focussed on a particular contemporary song by a Scottish artist, which I listened to throughout the entire time I worked on the piece. I would often work on multiple paintings throughout the day and could spend months before a work was finished. I must have listened to each song hundreds of times. At the Union Gallery exhibition opening each painting was numbered and we supplied MP3 players with the correlating songs so viewers could ‘experience’ the painting with the song that it was inspired by.

She’s Coming Down (Music by Elkin) was also minted as an NFT in 2021 for the From Palette to Canvas collection.
