Based out of Bristol, I am an illustrator working in 2D and 3D elements to create surreal and whimsical imagery. I love traditional methods of creating, with paint and sculpture as my personal passion! I can combine the two by using photoshop to merge a creature into a painted setting, making something otherworldly look realistic through the use of detail. Being out in nature is definitely my biggest inspiration. I have a fascination for the world we live in, both close up and a bigger point of view. Other than being outside and travel, I think a combination of watching documentaries and cartoons influence my visual imagery and otherworldy making. I would say there is a sense of positivity and fun throughout my work, in hope to inspire, take a pause or make someone smile whoever may come across it.
