About

I draw collections of beautiful birds. ‘O for Ornithology' is a series of drawings on my own Moleskine diary pages; one for every letter of the alphabet. I draw birds in a similar manner to natural illustrations, focusing completely on the beauty of the creature. Using aquarelle colour pencil and graphite pencil, I want each bird to appear as lovely as possible. I construct the layout of each drawing using a similar grid system to that of Mondrian's paintings, creating rhythms between the frequency of heavy lines and empty spaces. Each composition is loosely determined by the letter of the alphabet allocated to the page. Each letter can be seen within the heavy lines of the piece.
