Who are you?
I am an artist and writer who currently lives and works in Conwy, North Wales.
What do you do?
I draw illustrations, make installations and collages, and write stories and poems.
Why do you do it?
The value of my work is found not in the final form or in its ability to be sold. It is what it gives me in the process of making; the enjoyment of using my imagination or of simply venting my emotions.
How do you create these images?
I like to use my imagination to create stories and drawings of another world made up of mythic and hybrid creatures, images and objects. Inspired by nature and its different connections, movements and relations, in an attempt of interpreting and explaining the world around me.
Who are your influences?
Alan Watts, Jorge Luis Borges, Hermann Hesse, 145 Collective, my friends, family and the world around me.
What inspires your work?
I am currently very inspired by Norse God, Aztec and Celtic myths, music, the natural world and the play, nonsense and flow of reality as it crashes against my everyday life.
What do you like?
The awe, wonder and magic that surrounds the world we live upon.
What don’t you like?
Boris Johnson etc…
