My drawings are influenced by the inhabitants of the natural worlds that surround us and the large, unrelenting amount of media we are exposed to on a daily basis. Themes of nature and life are depicted in the subject matter of my work. I am enraptured by the visual motifs and symbolisms of feathers and talons, of teeth and fur, of scales and fins. I depict marine, terrestrial, arial and insect life, creatures from various domains in my work, to explore their mysterious forms and secrets, to connect and resonate, living thing to living thing. Throughout my work I take inspiration from artists such as Peter Deligdisch, through his understanding of line and shape. As well as Lauren Marx, her animal subject matter, set in beautiful and macabre tableaus.
