Artist Statement

I’ve been creating birds eye view paintings for over 15 years after completing my BA and subsequent MA in Illustration. I work in watercolour and ink to create bright and lively views of familiar places seen from a new perspective. I find building fascinating, especially the tops of buildings which tend to be untouched by time, and my style of painting allows me to explore these parts of structures and show them in all their beauty. I like to create little stories in the people I add to my paintings and find they help to bring a scene to life.
