A Little Bit About The Artist
A Statement From The Artist
As a multi-disciplinary artist and illustrator my practice explores the surreal, and the unconscious through folklore and creatures of myth, particularly those of medieval imaginations. Here I was inspired by depictions of classical demons, a birdlike creature looming over the lady in her unconscious dreams, a nightmare taking place with no way out. Esotericism, gothic iconography , monsters and all things strange, drive my desire to create.
Do you like scary movies? And if so which ones?
​
Scary movies are my top film genre,i especially like those which explore elements of folklore and creature features although ,I am partial to a classic slasher flick. Some stand outs from the top of my head would have to be, The Hallowed,The VVitch and Alien.
