Garden 7 – Ethereal

"I am an illustrator, day dreamer, and late bloomer who makes colourful pictures in response to being raised in a gray rainy city showing the vibrancy that exists behind the gray. As an artist I am inspired by wholehearted sweetness, amusing contradictions, and the underrated beauty of the mundane and everyday. I like to think about the wildness of the world which lives within us too, and try to capture the contradictions we face as being both loving and destructive animals. I use vibrant colour and movement of shape to evoke humour, playfulness, absurdity, and love, hinting at our daily contradictions. I believe in nuance and life within the gray area. We tell stories to try to sort out the mess, to decipher the undecipherable, and it's wholly beautiful."

I am a mixed media artist working in both dry and wet mediums. My work allows me to interact with alternate realities and our own; bringing a part of these worlds into form on our side of existence. The concepts stemming from this interest of worlds include; dystopian futures, alternate realities, and mythologies as fiction and non-fiction. Drawing from the worlds I’ve learned about through a multitude of forms; I use and bring these narratives into my body of work. I work part time at my local art gallery and spend the majority of my time pursing my passion. I am always looking for opportunities to learn more and am grateful for every chance given.
