  • T:When did you start your art and creative journey?

    J:I was always into art and chose all the ‘arty’ subjects I could at school, painting, sculpture, design, fashion design, graphic design etc. I actually then studied architecture for 5 years at uni and during this time I was able to further explore more artistic subjects such as painting, drawing, scupture and design. At the time I worked part time at an art and design store and started creating my own artwork, which I then was able to sell here at this store, that is probably where it started.

  • T:Have you ever had any big challenges starting a career being an artist? What kept you going despite of all these challenges?

    J:I think the biggest challenge was to keep at it, I think I started painting and selling work in 2008, it took me a few years to find my style and because I was self taught both in the art as well as business side, it took persistence to now become a full time artist.

  • T:How would you describe the style of your artworks?

    J:I often describe my work as ‘where you would want to be right now’ or where I want to be. The style is quite illustrative, colorful and meant to be light hearted. No serious meaning behind each one, although some tell a little narrative or story they are meant to be enjoyed rather than have a big story behind each piece.

  • T:What are the narratives you’d like to share with your audience? or, what inspiration do you wish your audience will take away from your artworks?

    J:I just hope my artworks make you feel happy when you see them or brighten up the space whether it be your home or office.
