My Creative Process

Each individual element is a piece of art in its own right, and often I’ll expand on my ideas, experimenting with different mediums and processes to further the project. I prefer to start with a pool of words and ideas in my notes app, or roughed out on paper, then I’ll seek inspiration, create a mood board, or take photos, scribbling and sketching, before planning the final piece. Sometimes I know which medium I want to use, other times I create it in several mediums on the way, to really study my subject and observe the colours in depth.

I often redraw paintings in vector format. Then craft them into seamless patterns for textiles and wallpaper. It takes time to capture all that detail, often much longer than the original painting, but the results yield a finely detailed, beautiful illustration that can be used in so many new ways. Most people simply would not have the patience, but I guess that’s a benefit of me being Neuro Resplendant! I get lost in the work and feel it’s worth it to have the freedom of choice, for easy colour and scale change, with no loss of quality. We can make it as big as the moon if you wish and those edges would still be as crisp, and colour just as true!
