I’m a colour-blind artist/cartoonist fascinated by the overlooked moments of everyday life. The way people interact with their surroundings, both living and inanimate, in ways that are often unnoticed. My work explores the social, philosophical, and humorous aspects of these interactions, inviting viewers to pause and see the world through a fresh lens.

From the subtle humour of a banana peel on the pavement to the fragile beauty of a single flower in a bustling city, my work captures the unexpected connections between humans, nature, and technology. I seek to reveal the hidden narratives in the mundane, highlighting both the absurdity and the complexity of daily life.

At the heart of my practice is a deep curiosity about human perception - how we prioritise/reinterpret the world around us. I use a variety of mediums, from paintings and illustrations to digital art and cartoons, to challenge perspectives and evoke dialogue.

Humour plays a central role in my work, not just as a way to entertain but as a powerful tool to engage and provoke thought. Whether exploring climate change, digital dependency, or social constructs, I use irony and wit to make complex issues more accessible and relatable.

I believe that art has the power to reshape perspectives, inspire action, and bring people together. Through my work, I invite viewers to slow down, observe the nuances of everyday life, and find meaning in the things they may have otherwise overlooked.
