Artist Statement
I draw, paints, sculpts clay and use mixed media.I make illustrated narrative art and illustrated poetry. I love the escapism of fantasy landscapes and mythical creatures. I make a lot of subconscious and intuitive art where I allow images to appear spontaneously and then continue from there. Art has always been a way to help me cope with the world and a way to express myself where words fail.
