Bio

I am a pop surrealist artist who lives with my 2 parrots in Adelaide, Australia. My studio is full of feathers, paint, and sketchbooks. It's a beautiful, chaotic mess, but that's just the way I like it.

I love drawing people and animals with an eccentric twist. My art is whimsical and bittersweet. My aim in every painting is to take light and dark and put them together, as a way to make the beautiful creepy and vice versa. I've been fascinated with pop surrealism for a long time.

The most magical thing about illustration for me is bringing imagination to life. All these worlds already exist even if they aren't drawn, but they're all vague and fleeting, and the moment you put them on paper they start blossoming like they're opening up that entire world and you can then enter into it even more. Drawing breathes life into it. I love inventing characters and stories and giving them a purpose. My favourite part of a project is constructing its narrative background. I have a neverending fascination with colour and exploring unique compositions. I think those are the two major elements that inspire my work.
