My work is about people, nature and the obscure complexities between them and their enviornments. I attempt to present these circumstances through the abstract, the decipherable and experimentation of process. My images are a series of mementos collected, explored and encrypted. My imagery is taken directly from life and manipulated deliberately as well as by chance and serendipity. I am inspired by the unusual and the unconventional. I am intrigued by the strangely attractive, the mysteries and details of everyday life and fleeting moments that normally go unnoticed. They are portraits of the world captured by means of photography in addition to observational drawing which I then arrange, manipulate and illustrate with a variety of materials and media.
