Artist Interview
What medium do you work with, and why have you chosen them?
Primarily oil paint. I love how oils allow you to create layers and depth in an artwork. I combine the use of traditional techniques with the freedom of my own style.
How does your artwork get from initial concept to exhibition stage?
I have managed to really establish my art practice over the years, creating compositions that feel balanced and work well together. I love to have that foundational idea and see how far I can grow it.
