How did you become an artist? As a child I loved drawing, I was quite obsessed about it. There was a big cupboard in the kitchen and I got myself set up in there with a little desk churning out reams and reams of drawings – always pictures of women. From school I went to Glasgow School of Art and then, in 2007, to the Royal College of Art in London. It never really occurred to me to do anything other than be an artist, I think I’ve always been quite single-minded.
