Artist Statement

This is a self-portrait. My intention for this piece was to create a dynamic, interesting and contemporary portrait. I used the square layout to give the look of an Instagram picture.
My concept was to turn the instant gratification of an Instagram “Selfie” and turn it into fine art. I would describe my style as “Urban Portraiture” and I primarily work in watercolour and coloured pencil.
