Through drawing, photography and printmaking, I attempt to represent social and personal topics in a subtle and sensitive manner. I particularly enjoy unpredictable processes such as monotypes and blind drawing, as they facilitate expressive mark-making and help to keep my work spontaneous. My work is informed by introspection and careful observation of my environment. I am also influenced by the atmospheric and emotional qualities of music and album artwork.

Where would you like your work to take you?

I'd like to continue exploring printmaking techniques and learn more about photography so that I can incorporate it into my work more confidently. Ultimately, I'd like to create visuals for music or pieces of writing.

Which part of your creative process do you enjoy most?

My favourite part of my creative process is experimenting with media, finding new ways to approach them and solving problems along the way. I am always learning as I work and I find that very rewarding.

Where do you draw inspiration from?

I find inspiration in small details, such as the way light and shadow falls, or someone's body language. I am drawn to quiet moments.

What piece of music would you say compliments your work the most?

I would say Turn On The Bright Lights by Interpol complements my work. Or at least I would like that to be the case, as I find that album to be atmospheric and moving.

Can you list a couple other creatives/friends/people you look to for inspiration?

I live with two painters, Claire Shakespeare (@claireshakespeare_) and Roxi Salamian (@roxannasalamian.art), who are always inspiring me. They remind me of the joy I get from more physical methods of creating images. I am inspired by photography, particularly the dreamy work of Elizaveta Porodina and Jack Davison. Ralph Steadman's carefree approach to drawing inspired me to embrace accidents and surprises in my own work.
