About

​

I am a visual artist based in Nottingham, who loves pattern and colour.

​

I create vibrant, detailed designs and quirky landscapes using a combination of traditional hand drawn, and digital techniques. Strange vessels and (other-worldly) structures embrace geometric inspired themes.

​

My ideas come from the abundance of imagery in the world around me; the unusual shapes and patterns found in plants & trees, as well as my urban surroundings; the dense, bustling paraphernalia of city life and the buildings within it.

​

Influences include: Bauhaus, art deco, graphic design, geometric abstraction and architecture, but especially Brutalism which I love for its bold expressiveness and graphic lines, and the fact that it is often ugly and beautiful all at once!
