Vision

  • Artwork -  I create artwork with a soul and a story, using a unique blend of 2D and 3D layers - Illustrative subject matter combined with industrial materials are the base of my works. My pieces are often playful and fun, created on multiple layers which allow certain elements of each piece to float above the layer below, when you walk around the piece it will change, interacting with “you” the viewer and entering the physical 3D space. The viewer will be drawn in close by my use of intricate detail and texture, while also appreciating the bold graphic elements from a distance.
  • Illustration - I create illustrations based on client briefs. From  inked portraits to colouring book pages to murals, i’m versitile in size and style and I have a strong background in children’s book illustration. When it comes to children’s illustration, I like to  embrace fun characters with whimsical elements. I try to capture excitement, moment and expression within my work while maintaining a strong narritive. I create works digitally and traditionally depending on the project..
