I am an artist who works alongside interior designers and architects to make unique hand drawn concept visuals of interior and exterior spaces. My background in sculpture and as a cabinet maker has given me skills essential to this process.

My drawings offer an organic, bespoke alternative to the more common, formulaic computer generated presentations, the uniformity of which cannot compete with the fluid aesthetic of a hand made line. The immediacy of drawing can never be replicated by a computer, just as the presence of an interior or building has to be experienced to be understood.

By working closely with the designer or client, an artist dialogue is established that allows me to make immediate changes as the design evolves and stay true to their vision. The resulting visual, whether a loose sketch or more worked up watercolour, evokes the idea of a real space in a way a soulless CGI image never could, and allows the client to really imagine that space that they can inhabit, rather than as a mere simulacrum.
