Artist
Statement:
I enjoy experimenting widely with different media and styles including monoprint, pastel, watercolour and others. This is because I find the unique qualities of each different medium enables me to treat a variety of subjects in what feels like the most appropriate way, without placing restrictions on the style in which I wish to work. For example, I use monoprint for drawing buildings and street scenes, pastel for close-up work (portraits, flowers, stills from films) and watercolour for studies of animals. Most of the pictures shown are samples of my work using monoprint, which retains the line in a way that I feel keeps the image fresh and exciting. I make my own egg tempera, and using this creates transparent layers of colour without obscuring the lines underneath. I then paint with bleach to pull back the light areas. I have also included some examples of my pastel work.
With persistence, and the necessary element of some luck, I hope in future to increase the amount of time I can spend on my work, in order to both progress further artistically and establish myself as a working Illustrator.
