I graduated from Cardiff Metropolitan University with a BA Hons degree in illustration in 2015, where my work became more abstract yet still maintaining a narrative. A year later I returned and completed my master’s degree in fine art, graduating in 2017.

 

Whilst living in Cardiff I exhibited in a number of small group exhibitions and often got lost in the process; using a range of mediums to explore the themes which interested me including acrylics, pencil drawing, collage, scanning and other digital means to explore areas of interest. I would consider myself a multidisciplinary artist. My work and subject matter lay within the realm of esoteric knowledge, psychedelic experience, the metaphysical, cosmic consciousness, and is usually narrative driven and semi-autobiographic. I draw upon many influences (however indirectly) including Art Brut, fringe and metaphysics, science fiction, graphic novels and traditional storytelling. I also have an academic interest in object orientated ontology.

 

After a long hiatus, I am gradually rekindling my creative process, attempting to make these themes and methods more coherent and am still very much finding my voice.
