Line, Shape, Form and Colour is a collection of my illustrative pieces of artwork, dating back from 2016 to the present. Through my own style and practice I create pieces of work with themes from nature, where I produce surface pattern designs both figurative and abstract. I am drawn to small animals. I enjoy reinventing them by bringing their shapes to life, using intricate pattern designs in monochrome or vibrant colours. The works which are related to botanical themes are inspired by my own garden, observed through the seasons.

Occasionally, when I am creating nature artworks, I get the perspectives wrong or there is an incorrect overlay of the subject matter. This most certainly is due to the Brain Damage I suffered as an infant, it is part of who I am, these mistakes or imperfections are incorporated into the Artwork to make it unique.

The abstract works come from a place where I am at my most contented; I often listen to popular music or listen to a football podcast when I create these works. I don’t have to think about specific mark makings to create a realistic form. The abstract work is created purely on sensations and my brain activity on that day.
I hope you enjoy viewing my artworks.
