Growing up in a family of professional artists, designers, stylist and photographers, meant that art was everywhere. I simply do not know of an existence without it. I am a voracious visual consumer and an inquisitive, experimental image maker. The elements of science and philosophy are always close at hand in my work - though that's not say I don't also enjoy more traditional imagery, especially atmospheric landscapes and other classical elements from the natural world.
