My body of work examines the experience of discovering, and indulging in, what makes you happy – a happiness that you don’t feel the need to mask. The journey of K (the cat character) represents my own experience of struggling to fit into societal standards during childhood as my interests were very different to many others my age. My intention in using differing art styles in my work was to inspire other artists to experiment with their own style.

My artmaking practice has been influenced by the study and interpretation of the following artists: Andy Arkley, Shag (Josh Agle), Rob Renzetti, Jhonen Vasquez, Charuca Vargas, Paul Frank, Felix Colgrave.
