‘Every Child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up.’ Pablo Picasso

My work is inspired by children, including films, books and toys. Films like ‘Alice in Wonderland’ and ‘Toy Story’ create a place where anything can happen with a little  bit of imagination and an open mind, a magical world, they act like a vehicle back to childhood. My work is built  on a philosophy of play, focusing on aspects of reality and the feelings created by the elements of play.

‘We don’t stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.’

George Bernard Shaw
