About The Artist
[Image ID] A photo of my materials, and a painting, laid out on a table [description end]
Artwork in photo: Day 3 'Bat' from Inktober 2022I’m an Autistic artist, living in Cambridgeshire, and practising a variety of mediums. I'm also a member of Peterborough Art Society.
I always liked art, making things, and being creative, from a very young age. When I started doing art more intentionally, about eight years ago, my main medium was digital; and my traditional practice mainly involved sketches to be scanned and finished digitally. I continued to mostly work digitally for a few years but now I use both more equally.
My main traditional mediums are watercolour and gouache; sometimes I use them individually, but other times I combine both types of paint for a different effect.
I also enjoy photography, cardmaking, art journalling, and mixed media. Examples of all of these can be found on my website (see site map)
I am inspired by many things the
world around me, especially gothic architecture and steampunk - although this isn't always reflected in my art.
