In 1996 he earned his post-graduate certificate in secondary education and resettled in Glasgow to work as a teacher of art and design. After a major health crisis in 2017 that resulted in the loss of his right arm, he has found digital art to be a more accessible medium due to lack of handling materials, and especially during lockdown due to Covid-19.
