Can you describe the creative process behind making these pieces?
It usually starts with an idea and a quick, loose sketch, just enough to get the key elements down. From there, I experiment with colour palettes, words, fonts, and shapes. It can go in any direction, which is what I love about it. If something starts to feel predictable, I push it further, try to take it somewhere unexpected. Once the concept feels right, I start texturing the canvas and layering in colour. That’s when things start to fall into place. Sometimes I’ll sit with a painting for months, unsure of what’s missing - then suddenly, a small idea strikes, and it completes the piece.
Your work aims to provide people with true keepsakes from their travels. What do you hope customers gain from this collection?
I hope the work creates that almost memory-like feeling real nostalgia, even for places you haven’t visited. I want it to make people smile or feel happy. I feel happy when I’m making it. I try to keep things playful, and I hope that energy comes through - like you're seeing a place, but through my lens.
