Visual Art – Brisbane
I am a drawer, a painter, an illustrator, a photographer, graphic designer a web designer and writer.
Art has always been part of my life. My first serious step into the art world was through commissioned portraits (in chalk pastel) from the age of 17 to support my BA in Graphic Design course at Charles Sturt University.
My next focus was with pencil and having no formal training in visual art I was able to refine my drawing skills through my six years of drawing for Walt Disney Australia.
From here my drawing style virtually exploded into an exploration of the imagination, and how mood and emotion can be expressed more freely without being confined to structured reality.
And now with the Running Duck Studio it's all about having a bit of fun. The RDS artwork is Australian themed with a dab of wildlife, a little bit of cheeky humor and a touch of whimsy.
The mediums and styles I work with now range from Digital Design, Oil, and Chalk Pastels, Acrylic paint, ink lead pencil, Photography and a digital blend of the two. The later of which I am now using in my illustrations and storytelling.
