I'm inspired by people. It's why I make the art I do; it’s why I started with a degree in Human Biology and it’s why I decided to go travelling and spend the time immersed in different communities....

​

Like many artists, I have been drawing and making things since I was big enough to hold the tools to do so, and I don’t think I’ve ever really stopped. I think the advent of social media has been important for moving my art forward as it allowed me easy insights into different creative processes. I am also certain that starting a family was an important step in bringing out my creativity and this was when my artwork really began to move forward.

I was lucky to spend two years working and studying in close-knit communities in Latin America and the warmth and friendliness of the people I met and the vibrant, upbeat culture had a profound effect on the style of my work.
