Motivation

My drive as an artist revolves around the idea of a beautiful death that does not equal finality. I employ symbols of myth, art history, and fantastical narratives to fuel the imagery I render, exploring memento mori, urban ruin and post-mortem beauty. Much of my image resources include instances of life existing in cadavers, encompassing the idea that beauty will continue to thrive once we have succumbed to death, and we should be able to take solace from that. I feel that exploring such themes lends to healthy personal growth and acceptance, liberating a person from the fear of death and inviting a celebratory appreciation of life. Much of my work is greatly inspired by Romantic ideals of beauty and the sublime, touching base with the spiritual essence found in nature. It is my intention to place these ideas in modern and contemporary places to bring light on the death that exists in the Anthropocene and highlight the beauty and life that exist in spite of it.

Willowind Studios
"The Grotesque Made Beautiful."
Still in the early stages, Willowind Studios hopes to establish a welcoming and memorable presence in the art community of London and its surrounding regions. Founded and represented by the artist, the business functions through word of mouth, festivals and craft shows, gaming and anime conventions, and the internet. Many of the artist's larger bodies of works can be purchased at galleries and sculpture gardens. This business offers paintings, prints, jewelry, pins, and glass objects. In addition, commission work and repair jobs are open. The artist utilizes normally terrifying and unsightly aesthetics to make beautiful possessions to adorn yourself or your home.

Spicy Honey Heart is a branch of Willowind Studios that deals print-on-demand designs on sites like Society6, Redbubble, and Art of Where. The collections are more open and lighthearted, based on the artist's inspirations, loves, and hobbies. You can find the shop by clicking the button provided on each page.
