I am a self-taught artist who works and lives in Canberra. Having always been creative from a young age I have dabbled with different mediums before discovering working only in pencil gave the desired effect I was looking for.
The creative process begins with sourcing and creating a still life scene that inspires me to capture it on paper. The inspiration comes from transforming everyday items into something special so the viewer stops to see how interesting the ordinary can be.
Drawing with pencil gives a softness to the work and the ability to achieve a high level of detail. The work takes many hours to complete applying layer upon layer of pencil, playing with the shadows, light and reflection, leaving the background white giving a crispness to the work.
