SERVICES My Work
It is by taking the situations, events and characters of our lives that are too often overlooked that my work becomes a parody of the world in which we live. The narrative behind my creations becomes a subtle commentary on our daily lives. The stories each piece tells reflect back at us our own lives, open for our own interpretations and our own internal dialogue. The three-dimensional aspect to my art works as a symbol of the layers we need to tear off to reach the core and the heart of a situation, emotion or personality. My work speaks for itself and if you listen carefully enough you will hear the stories it has to tell.
Biography
As an artist I re-create the world around me using a broad range of media including illustration, phototography and animation, as well as computer art using Photoshop and Illustrator (CS5).Human emotion fascinates me and is often at the heart of my work.My illustrations exaggerate behaviour to create a story where words become redundant. There is nothing I love better than breathing life into inanimate objects giving them personalities and characters of their own. I am also inspired by observing facial expressions, following the line of every visible emotion in the human spectrum - from joy and laughter to pain and sadness. Although my work appears to be composed by simple, neat, clear and defined lines, I challenge the viewer to look deeper and find the underlying complexity beneath the layers, drawing the viewer ever further in to my art and themselves.
