About
Born 1982, Melbourne, Australia. Collage and mixed media artist and freelance illustrator. Living and working in Copenhagen, Denmark. Graduate of Monash University with a Bachelor of Design in Visual Communication (2004).
Since my shift of focus to fine art and illustration in 2006, I have been cutting and pasting my way towards a unique and contemporary style of collage and mixed media art, working with numerous galleries as well as fine art publishers and creative companies all around the world.
While collecting mostly old magazines and books, but also postcards, brochures, manuals and catalogues, I have also been sorting through op shops, flea markets, garage sales and the occasional city street to find the ephemera and images that have found their way into my very nostalgic and weathered collage and mixed media works.
Working methods have also extended to digital collage with a very gritty and realistic display of texture and layering. The digital work began as an experiment in blurring the line between handmade collage and digital collage.
Other work includes freelance illustration, graphic design and fine art commissions for various clients including art buyers and collectors, editorial publications, galleries, universities and the boutique fashion industry.
Exhibitions include solo shows and group shows in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Perth, Byron Bay,
Los Angeles, New York, Miami, San Francisco, Washington DC, Vancouver,
London, Berlin, Copenhagen, Stockholm, Zurich, Barcelona, Madrid and
Milan.
