How long have you been practicing art?
I have always been in love with creating art and exploring colour since I was a young child. It wasn’t until I graduated high school that I began dreaming of being an artist. This has been one of the most challenging but rewarding things. I am still in the beginning phase of creating my business and learning the ropes of freelance, but I love every moment of it.
Is there anything special about the space you create in?
Ah yes! I love this question. I believe the spaces you are in can greatly affect your mind and creativity. My studio is currently in Brisbane, just a few minutes from the city. It’s quiet and calm, a place where I can clear my head and focus on my art. My home is bright and minimal; most walls have art on them and each item we bring holds some sort of value to us, whether it’s for a specific function or aesthetic.
Can you tell us a little about your process?
I allow the canvas to come alive, relying on intuition, emotion, past failure and successes to guide me; colour, movement and my daily life inform the inception of my work.
What inspires you?
Things outside my own space, like visiting other people’s homes or museums, or being on the computer listening to music or going through Instagram. That is where the inspiration comes from. But, how it inspires can differ a lot from piece to piece. It’s hard to say how exactly without looking at the individual piece and staring at or listening to the inspiration at the same time.
What is your dream artistic project?
Murals! I’m obsessed with them. I think they really fill a space and are a great way of self-expression. They add colour to building walls and streets that would otherwise go unnoticed, which I think is a real treat.
