Statement

Statement

The magic and raw beauty of nature inspire me to create my art, depicted in monochrome for its simplicity and high impact. I like to convey expression and emotion in the eyes and stance, or in the way the light falls on a subject, highlighting it and casting shadows in folds of skin.

With each drawing, I want to bring a small part of the natural world to the viewer and bring it to life, as a way to connect with nature and remind us of what we stand to lose.

Biography

Biography

I am a completely self taught artist and started drawing at a very early age, always with a focus on wildlife. I continued to paint and draw during my life whenever I had the time, but other things got in the way as they tend to do, and I only made the decision to change to art as a career in 2021.

Over the years I’ve tried different media but have always been drawn to black and white art, which can be so eye-catching and expressive. I mainly use graphite and carbon pencil drawing to achieve the look I want. I have always had a keen interest in and knowledge of the natural world, which led me to study zoology at university and so wildlife drawing enables me to combine two of my greatest passions.
