„…travelling has always been a huge influence…“

Q: „Are there any special places where you go in order to think of ideas?“

A: „I don’t have a specific location that I go to for inspiration but travelling has always been a huge influence on my work and I often use photographs I take whilst travelling to paint from. For example in 2015 I spent two months travelling around the USA and when I came home I made two painting series based on my experiences there. And in 2017 I spent three weeks travelling in Japan and when I came back I made the painting series Mono No Aware.“

Q: „If there’s anything you could change in the world through your work, what would it be?“

A: „I have been actively trying to use my work to raise money for charities this year. I think it’s important to use whatever platform or skill you have to try and support causes that you believe it. Earlier this year I donated 100% of the profits from print sales of my ‘Hello America’ series to WWF Australia to help save the animals that were hurt during the wildfires. Currently I’m donating 25% of profits from print sales of all of my prints to Black Lives Matter.“
