About the Artist

Drawing and colouring were as natural to me as breathing, thinking back to my earliest memories. I gained a Bachelor's Degree in Graphic Design, plus a Diploma in Design Fundamentals from both The University of Western Sydney, and Enmore Design Centre. Something never felt right though, until I took a random glance at a box I had in the corner of my apartment one day. It contained drawings I had completed years earlier. Upon pulling out these works and thinking to myself, "there is no way I can make a career out of this", it took less than a second for a simultaneous thought to follow: "I am going to make a career out of this". I have not looked back. Those drawings were the catalyst for a journey, leading me to my fundamental passion regarding my work: drawing and painting flowers...not your average flower though. I want to push and redefine this subject matter in ways no one has ever thought or dared to do so before, creating pieces that make the viewer question logic and convention from that point onward.
