My life experiences/life lessons made me who I am today. Charging my Ipad right now, ironically. My Japanese mother, whose family still lives in Japan, and an American father from the South, also shaped my worldview too – culturally.

What makes me me:
My experiences have shaped me into who I am. I have anxiety and OCD which aren’t parts of myself I enjoy but they are still a part of me, and I’m learning to accept that. The music that I listen to makes me feel uplifted and energised. Bad days make me feel uncertain about the future. Good days give me hope. Spending time with friends makes me happy.

I’m a rocky boy – set me loose on some bouldery beach with some comfortable trainers and I’ll have the time of my life. My brain tidies itself up, I’m free and easy and I’m about as Me as I’ll ever be.

Helping others find their voice!
Voice is the primary instrument. We all have one and it’s the most immediate way we connect with other people. The singing voice is one the most effective ways to build a connection with others, but also to connect with one’s innermost self!
Singing helped me lose myself when I needed to escape in my childhood, find myself when I broke into adulthood. I lost my voice (figuratively) in recent years when dealing with personal trauma, but found it in different ways, through helping others to find theirs and to heal their voice. Healing others helps to heal me too. Breath, body voice connection is my currently mantra in both my own performing practice and my Singing for Health work.
“Music transcends all and I truly believe it is the farthest-reaching form of communication. Everyone has a musical voice, and it is my mission to help others find theirs” (R Hynes, 2023)
If it helps, I love to sea swim & crochet. I often sing when I am in the sea; most often found at the Pier end of Ayr Beach. Rollerskating is a long term hobby too & I want to roller skate up and down the prom when I get fit enough! 🌷

Being around family and friends. Having space to creative and appreciate the simple things in life that aren’t materialistic. Being present in the moment and always striving to see the glass half full.

A combination of curiosity, sensitivity, and an optimistic disposition make me who I am, both as a human and an artist. I find comfort and joy in alchemizing seemingly negative experiences into something lighter and more hopeful. I believe there is beauty in every day experiences if we remain open and curious enough to see them.
My connection to nature influences my way of being in the world and in the work I create. It is my aim to evoke this sense of oneness with the Earth in my paintings.

Trying to be understanding and kind to others and myself. My imagination and creativity. Feeling healed by being in nature. Making and sharing good food with friends and family. Looking at the world and thinking what can I do to help?

Makes you / YOU? Walt Disney summed things up nicely with his quote “Laughter is timeless, imagination has no age, and dreams are forever”. Curiosity drives me and classical music inspires me.

This is a complicated question for me, I’m very drawn to good and evil within people and how human beings as individuals express that. Whether that’s through art, music, photography anything really. Symbolism is something that is highly important to me, hiding tragic stories in plain sight is something that has really gotten me through some of the worst points in my life through my own photography. It’s my way of nurturing it in a sense, it’s a beautifully complex thing in my eyes.

Doing Art it is a form of Escapism were I leave the problems of life behind, so I’m in my happy place, Human connection with Nature. By using my surroundings in my Art Creations as I live in the forest. I take photos and then transform them into Art from my imagination.

I would say my imagination and weirdness. I’m an odd fellow and that is often reflected in my work, which I like. In everything I do, no matter the project I always try to add my self to it, to make it weird and stand out from the rest. Implant the oddities in my head on to whatever it is I’m making. I don’t wish to blend in with my work, but as a person I enjoy being solitary.

I was going to say I’d come back to you about this then I landed on the word procrastination and faith. So I guess I’d say I use my art to heal & rebuild/maintain strength primarily through procrastination and faith. I’m really interested in Art as Therapy, more so since having cancer. That probably best explains what makes me ‘me’ currently.

What makes me, me?
In work and play, I give 100% of myself. I’m fiercely protective and caring of my family. I’m passionate about my art, wild swimming, and music. Each of these provide peace, joy and a feeling of belonging in this world in their own different ways. My art practice is intuitive, using semi- abstract/abstract mixed media and collage to express the feelings I experience when swimming or walking in the landscapes in Ayrshire and beyond. My mind becomes quiet when painting, I lose track of time and live in the moment. I can’t imagine doing anything else.
