My artistic process is so varied that I struggle to encapsulate myself in a few sentences, but here goes….
- I create drawings, paintings, collages, digital photographs, digital art, short films and websites.
- The urge to create is something that I was born with and cannot escape from. For me, trying to not be an artist is like trying not to breathe.
- My art was initially a response to the trials of mental illness and the need for a cathartic release from negative emotions. I’ve become a much happier person over the last few years, but still feel a constant need to create new images. I’m aiming to create an intensive body of work that captures every emotion.
- I’m inspired by painters, illustrators, writers, directors, musicians, designers and anybody who creates work that’s beautiful, meaningful, expressive and from the heart.
I hope you enjoy viewing the selection of work I’ve shared here on RedBubble. Feedback is always welcome. My full online portfolio is available at Calanooka.com. You can also find me on DeviantArt. I will be uploading a picture a day to this site for the next couple of months, so check back later if you’d like to see more.
