Do you have a Princess Cat like me? This is a whimsical painting taking delight in the regal nature of cats. I could do a whole bakery of cats: Muffin, Shortbread or Croissant!

How would I describe my art?
It has an emphasis on pattern and historical cultural fusion, with a decorative flair or style.

How do I decide what to paint?
It normally stems from research, but other times from serendipity. I might discover a historical style or culture that I haven’t seen before, but often I am inspired by documentaries, textiles, ceramics, history, or cultural mixing.

What does my work mean?
My work explores how cultural exchange has always happened. In each piece, the motifs I use will change, however, depending on the host culture.

I aim to draw attention to how we are all more closely related than we realise, and how forgotten fads in the past have informed our present. I am interested in what we owe our ancestors, by highlighting those things that should be remembered and perhaps are no longer valued as they should be.
