Biography
My mission is all about escapism. Being able to take yourself to another world while enjoying a piece of art. I have always found art to be a safe space to loose myself, recreating a story that ive read or seen on the big screen. Being able to espress myself through spray paint and bold lines is so freeing, and I have now realised through the workshops I have guided, it can be used for everyone else too, young or old! Art has so much power!
inspiration
My inspiration has always been stories. Wether they are in a book or on the telly. I have always found it the best escape, being able to go on an adventure without moving from the sofa, is incredibly convenient with two small children and an old, overweight Chihuahua that doesn't like to walk anywhere! I live to recreate these stories in my work not just as therapy for me, but for a community of people that feel the same, and enjoy a different take on thier favourite stories.
medium
I use acrylic, spray paint and texture. My work is very expressive with bright colours and bold mark making. I make multiple layers to create different textures, and convey the depth of the stories of the painting. I am also heavily influenced by street art and graffiti. Bringing a real life/urban feeling to my art.
