Hamish comes from a theatrical background.  his childhood home was a place where extraordinary things happened.  Drawing was the original expression, Hamish would draw a lot, trying to emulate other artists, in order to understand how they created what they did.

Having stubbornly lived in the world of black and white, at the age of eighteen he made himself paint. His first painting was a portrait of his father and this was the turning point, from drawing to painting.  He studied at Wimbledon School of Art and Kingston University.

Hamish paints immediately, considering preparatory sketches unnecessary.
