I am a bookmaker and narrative illustrator, I love using water colours frequently in my mixed media approach. I have recently become interested in working with children and feel like the energy in the playfulness of their work has been a great influence to me, even when they may not be my target audience. A child’s uncluttered and distorted views can be quite hard to recreate. However, I enjoy the challenge of taking my mind back to a place where anything is possible and exploring the sublime - that which lies beyond words and reason.
‘A child see’s everything in a state of newness, genius is nothing more nor less than childhood regained at will’ – Baudelaire The Painter of Modern Life (1863)
