About
I'm a fine artist, textile and fashion designer who brings an indulgent, bohemian romantic spirit to my creative endeavours. My illustratory style merges contemporary fine art, social and cultural commentary, and a childlike eye, to create designs that capture the attention and imagination through conceptual elements, storytelling and humour.
With an original and authentic process, I find inspiration from a variety of sources, across all creative fields and subcultures, and with purity of spirit, express my ideas through line-work, digital design, mixed media, collage and screen printing. I have a clear vision that targets both the inner child and the social conscience within the context of the luxury marketplace.
I grew up between Europe, South East and Central Asia, Australasia, and across the USA, and have a refined cultural sensitivity and societal awareness that enriches my creative work. I've dedicated myself to the pursuit of art of living all my life and this quest has been central to my inspiration as designer, artist and academic.
This collection was inspired by the fractal interconnectedness of the quantum field. Society has a personality that can be swayed by popular vote, and the collective whole may feed back to the singular individual, urging them to be an active part of their times, and feeding them with the spirit of their generation. This collection was developed during the isolation of the first lockdown of the pandemic, with only a scanner, low end ink jet printer and silk, cotton and mesh glued to A4 paper to bring the vision of my designs to life. This was a challenge shared by many designers at the time and we are all perhaps stronger for having faced these challenges and overcome them. I later made hand rolled digitally printed silk scarves and jeans from this collection in a range of colourways.
