Process

I create highly detailed pen and ink illustrations, often on bits of recycled cardboard or paper from packaging. In terms of subject matter my work varies dramatically, but largely seeks to bridge the ever-widening gap between humanity and the natural world.

Inspiration

I am heavily inspired by moments where nature overtakes the human world (a plant growing through a crack in the sidewalk, an overgrown vacant lot) as well as human attempts to control nature (a cube-shaped hedge). I am also very drawn to the sublime beauty of landscapes, cityscapes and forests.

Fun Facts

Much of my work is created on scraps of recycled packaging, giving new life and an ephemerality to something that otherwise would have be thrown away. These are also framed in secondhand frames, creating something fresh and lasting from society's refuse.
