Artist Statement:
A lot of my life at school has been spent trying to make my art look like real things, in the past year I have rediscovered a love of simple doodling and nonsense that comes from who-knows-where. The pieces that have taken off for me have all come from personal doodles that are refocused into a more applicable format. Everything comes from love and watercolor.
