Artist statement

In this statement I will outline the type of artist I am and what mediums I enjoy working with.

In short I am a conceptual artist specialising in environment design but also conceptual ideas in design. A lot of the time my work will require some thought from the viewer, I like to leave my art open for interpretation so it generates some conversation. A lot of the time my work will be taken as very literal when viewed by people who don’t fully understand the type of art I make but its still very positive reviews when shown to people.

A lot of inspiration comes from the surrealist movement or dada but I can also do photo realism using digital software like Photoshop but I still prefer to work with pencil and paper.

I also make games, one in particular was sent to three people currently working in the industry and I had very positive reviews given back, “it’s a bold concept and I think it has definite curiosity value.” Or “I definitely feel it has potential” and “it has potential to be a crowd sourcing campaign”. So I feel very confident that I could make it as a game developer in terms of making a story and being the team leader.






research into possible futures


voice over work

I've recently been interested in a different job sector that doesn't involve drawing but could still be seen as an art. i have a talent for voices, accents and other noises for as long as i can remember and never really thought anything of it but i've been approached by classmates for help with voices and noises on what ever thing that needs it and been told many times now that i would do well in that industry so i have done some research into this field.


to expand into this line of work i have signed up to the website www.gamevoices.co.uk. this site offers game developers and voice over artists to interact and is a platform to showcase your voicing talents. my account is pending authorisation but when the sites administrator accepts my request to be a member i will upload a range of my voicing talents.


i'm also thinking about attempting freelance work as a concept artist once i no longer attend college, just to give it my full attention.
