Artist Statement


I enjoy the idea of challenging people’s thoughts, opinions and ideas through my work.
Having had a children’s book on bullying published I feel I have contributed to a worthwhile cause and have learnt a lot about the publishing process.
Most of my work starts with an idea or a concept, which I explore in many different techniques. I like to work with a line drawing as a starting point and experiment with adding colour or texture through collage, ink or the computer. I am particularly interested in different mark-making and printmaking techniques
My work mainly consists of reportage as I enjoy observing, exploring and recording unusual and interesting aspects of everyday life. I also have a strong interest in children’s book illustration as I particularly like sequential images and storytelling.
I carry out intensive research to inform my work and aim to communicate my new understanding and experience through my pictures. I feel that the best way to learn about something is to experience it first hand, which in turn leads to stronger work. It gives a better insight and I aim to convey this in my work.
I like there to be a strong relationship between the viewer and the work, for them to interact and get involved with it or the idea of it.
I get my inspiration from; exhibitions, music, conversations, documentaries, other artists, people, magazines, books, films, culture, travel and ideas.
I constantly keep sketchbooks and initiate my own projects to keep analysing and observing the world around us.
I have a broad range of art and design skills, including; knowledge of computer programmes Photoshop, Premier, Illustrator and Director, printmaking, drawing, collage, design and layout, mounting, presentation, scanning, printing, and CD burning. I continually experiment with new media and new techniques to add to my existing skills.
