Artwork Description

My work has been highly influenced by the world of commercial art and graphic design. This translates to my art in many ways. My still life paintings are careful composition full of allegories, which capture a moment in time where all represented items are meaningful beyond the composition.

"Doc Martens" is one in a series of drawings that feature gold foil embellishments.

I love Dr Martens shoes. These are my trusty old docs that I wore in high school, and I still wear today.... many years later. I own a few pairs. They are so punk and British, I just had to dedicate an artwork to these iconic shoes. The icing on the cake is the gold foil Union Jack!

Dr Martens boots! Dr Martens boots! They're hip. They're hop. They'd rather not! They're Dr Martens Boots!
