“I tend to draw inspiration from various artists at different times. Then, perhaps I can repeat a certain element or brush/pen stroke for a while which I’ve been inspired by from a specific artist, to then move on to a new source of inspiration. I wouldn’t say there are any artists in particular that I take inspiration from all the time and that influence my work directly. At the moment though, I’m really inspired by the thought of hand drawn and collage artworks as digital printing format.”

 

“I also work as an art director and graphic designer so illustration doesn’t take up all of my work time. Although, if I wasn’t working with something creative, I would sail around the world and explore every corner of it and also try to become a professional sail racer. Then I’d take more time to learn how to play golf… I’m terrible at it and I really want to know how to play!”

 

“My biggest love is the sea. My biggest hate? To be alone for too long. I get extremely bored if I can’t talk to anyone!”

“I think the illustration that means the most to me  would be the timeline exhibition piece I created for Cosmetics à La Carte’s 40th Anniversary exhibition. The piece was 4x2m large and it was created on a very short time. I was working day and night on the project, only to having to re-create it in the gallery as it would look nicer to re-paint it onto the wall rather than print it as a vinyl. Lots of sweat and hard work and it turned out to be a success! (artwork pictured below)”

I dream of living on a house boat, styled in Lexington and an interior picked from the Swedish archipelago, with a bright, sun-filled studio where I can work from as a creative between my visits to exciting clients all around the world
