From an early age I would lose myself in an imaginary world of art and creativity and find comfort drawing for hours in my room . It would bring my mind into a present state where everything else would fade for a moment into peace.
Art became a great focus for me, helping me through the ups and downs of situations throughout my life. Developing my skills over time with practice and persistence.
I first picked up the airbrush when I was around the age of 16, out of being inspired by other well known artists that utilised this art form . Through moments of frustration, perseverance and a few lessons, I found a love for this art tool and the many functions and ways it became an amazing medium to use.
I enjoy various mediums in my art such as ink, pencil and marker but am always drawn back to airbrush for its versatility and fine detail and finish .
The thing I love most about creativity is it’s a journey with no real set destination. You are in a constant state of learning and development. I live by the idea with my art “Don’t ever think you’re a professional, as it leaves no room for improvement." Meaning if you think you are at a state where you stop learning , then you cut yourself off from further development.
My inspiration comes from watching my father when I was young doing creative things with wood and stained glass. I always thought he was clever. Also from life itself, my experiences, feelings and other artists who’s work inspires me to keep going, improving and learning.
I’ve never really thought about putting my art into one category or limiting it to one style, I like to put a kind of uniqueness in the way I do my art. You know how you just recognise someone’s art for what it is? There’s a kind of unique flavour attached to their style . I paint what appeals to me in the moment I guess, from realism to surrealism .
As far as the future I think I’d like to expand and share more of my art with the world and meet other like minded people that inspire with their passion and creativity.
