Curiosity fuels the artist (June 2024 ✦ Artist Vlog)

My recent focus has been on drawing cats, so I hope that cats are your thing. I love how cats have such a deep sense of curiosity! They do say, “curiosity killed the cat.” Whatever the case may be, I feel like as artists we need to hold onto that curiosity for all dear life. Perhaps “curiosity fuels the artist.” It's what makes us reach for new heights, helps us explore original ideas and ultimately fuel our inspiration!

🕯 ABOUT THE ARTIST
I am a pop surrealist artist & illustrator. I live with my pet parrot Zazu and thousand plushies in my own little wonderland. My studio is full of feathers, paint, and sketchbooks. It’s a beautiful, chaotic mess, but that’s just the way I like it. My style can be described as a range of all things cute and whimsical with a tinge of gothic melancholy. It’s just that bitter-sweet. I studied Visual Communication & Illustration at UniSA and now work as a full-time artist, illustrator and livestreamer.
