Q - What is your favourite thing you have created?
A - I’m pleased to have created a lot of personal favourites when it comes to my paintings and illustrations. Some of my personal favourites come from my early acrylic works (2006-2009). They essentially pinpoint a shift in the subject matter of my work from the dark and mundane to the bright and outlandish.
Q - Have other people supported or inspired you?
A - My friends, family and loved ones have been huge supporters of my craft over the years. I have also generated a large fan base from the various shows I have exhibited at, and I have worked with many talented individuals on a number of projects. I’m constantly finding myself inspired by others interpretations, abilities or techniques. I enjoy making something new. But I truly get excited to make something new with others.
