I have a deep interest in the natural world, exploration into the unknown, and history. Much of my work refers to, or is influenced by, myths, fables, and fairytales, and I combine the imaginary and natural together to create my pen and marker drawings on paper. It is in the union of these two disparate elements that I feel the true magic and mystery of the world lies.
