What Influences your work the most?

Nothing particularly, it would just be what I feel on the day. I never try too hard to find influences or research, I don’t like to keep my illustrations in a frame.

Do you feel that your art is a reflection of you as a person? or do you use art as sort of a vent for your life?

Definitely a reflection of me as a person. I love fashion, I love colour and a sense of glamour. It shows in my work.

What drives you to draw and paint?

I’m not sure, I’ve always been drawing. Probably just for my own satisfaction and people’s appreciation when they see my work.

What other artists do you like, and why?

Right now, I love old English illustrators such as Honor C Appleton and Ronald Searle.
Their works are calm, charming and relaxed; Full of sense of humour and completed with hand drawn detail. Not just a flip-though but a real drawn-in experience.

What’s your next plan?

Summer vacation in The Big Apple.

Don’t take things too seriously and have fun what ever you do.
