I paint in oil and create content for fashion and lifestyle brands.
I’m interested in understanding how artists think and work and I read constantly about the artists I admire, tracing patterns in their techniques and ideas.
That curiosity flows into everything I make, whether it’s on canvas or for a client, and as a brand the name ‘Time Consumed’ seems fitting to my considered approach.
My website aims to show both sides of that practice and my blog documents the thinking behind it.
My Artwork
My Blog, Underneath The Paint
This is my blog where I write mostly about the books I am reading on artists that I like. I enjoy reading about what influences artists, the techniques they used and the hidden meanings within their work. The more I read, the more I connect patterns between certain artists and their ways of thinking and making art.
I also sometimes write about other things that are on my mind or what I am thinking of as I make my own art (try to make my own art).
My blog is also a way to improve my writing skills as I see the art of communication as important as the act and delivery of art itself.
