Creating art is the thing that makes me feel whole and complete. When drawing I feel at peace in my own reality. Take away my ability to draw then take away my ability to breath.

Drawing helps me escape from the monotonous and upsetting aspects of reality. I’m driven by pure passion and expression. Being creative tunes my ability to hyper-focus. It balances the emotional and logical aspects of my personality, whilst satisfying my obsessive nature in a positive and productive way.

All of my work is organic in process. I start with a line or a shape then build from there. This helps me from be self deprecating whilst doing the thing I love the most. Each piece is a visual manifestation of my conscious and subconscious, rotating the page when drawing, marking out the lines that appear in my mind. It is my way of releasing raw emotions, choosing acrylic & acrylic thickener for paintings and ball point pens as the medium for my drawings.

My work reflects fun, freedom, individuality, proportion, movement, progression and imperfection, as well as provoking interaction, discussion and accessibility. I find inspiration in nature, shapes, light, contrast, emotions and interactions between people, as well as in my own need to constantly learn and progress as a person/artist.

Each piece is a bookmark to my life, which is why they’re all titled with the date of completion. The artworks produced represent different things to different archetypes/people, suggesting a conversation between objective and subjective perspectives. This is something that I think is important about art, people coming together and finding freedom in their own opinions, as well as accepting the individual interpretation of others. This helps me to remember that nothing is ever one sided, we all view the world from a different angle. Signing more than one corner is my way of representing this.

As my art grows, the more it adds light to the dark and continues to shape and lead with its own personal philosophy.
