Artist Interview
What medium do you work with, and why have you chosen them?
I work with oils for their ability to create rich colours and depth. When travelling or want to paint Alla Prima, I use gouache paints.
How does your artwork get from initial concept to exhibition stage?
When I work on a botanical painting, I take many photos and draw sketches in the rainforest or the environment I want to depict, so I can recreate the feeling of it in the studio.
