graffiti, returning almost every year to refresh my repertoire. What attracted me was the spontaneous and transient nature of street art, as well as its multiculturalism, with many artists coming from outside the country to create murals. My series of spray-can tribal mask paintings was inspired by a workshop I led in my hometown of Aberdeen, during which I painted on old spray cans. The collection is an exotic and vibrant array of tribal masks incorporating elements from African, Asian, and South American traditions. The masks are depicted on spray cans and surrounded by lush patterns of plants and animals. The series has a distinct metropolitan feel and celebrates diversity through a message of unity: we are one species and one tribe. In 2019, these paintings evolved into my unisex urban t-shirt brand, Tribe All. Both the artwork and the t-shirts celebrate and promote the diverse cultures of the world, driven by my love of street art and culture. Tribe All represents a sense of togetherness, together, we are one! My artwork has been featured in Elle Decoration , three editions of House & Garden , and Red magazine. GQ, Wired, London Life, Harper’s Bazaar, Esquire, Elle, Cosmopolitan , and Vogue have all published editorial features on Tribe All. The brand has also been promoted at the Urban Music Awards in 2020 and 2022, the first-ever National Social Media Awards in London in 2021, and at Event Savo’s opening of Milan Fashion Week in September 2022, where Tribe All was showcased as ‘New Talent.’
