Sketchbook: Shakespeare's Sonnet 18
By special request, I created this artwork for Sonnet 18. Playing with Elizabethan lace as the graphic inspiration, I tried to weave elements from the visuals of the poem: flowers, wind, and the warmth of the summer sun. The original sketch is worked with fine pencil, then overlaid in black ink. I then work watercolour and Sennelier inks over the lacey lines for the full colour finish.
This sonnet is a part of my ongoing drawings of Shakespeare in a series I call 'Immortal Longings.

Costume Design
"In theatre, I love to emerge the crowd in the action unfolding around them: to feel the claustrophobia of a trench, the thrill of dangerous acrobatics. Texture, psychology, and architecture are passions of mine. From gritty realism to art nouveau, I love finding the style to suit the action and the story.
With film, the opportunity to direct the audience's attention and emphasize specific moments with the frame of the set is fantastic. I try to bring my theatre sensibilities and imagination into real world locations. Storyboarding and 3D experience are great tools for understanding how to best get the director's ideas and the story to come to life."

TV: Storyboards: 'Gettysburg'
For 'Gettysburg', I produced some (very) quick visuals for CGI sequences, highlighting marches, maps, and weaponry.About the Show
'Executive produced by Ridley and Tony Scott, GETTYSBURG strips away the romanticized veneer of the Civil War to present the pivotal Battle of Gettysburg in a new light--a visceral, terrifying and deeply personal experience, fought by men who put everything on the line in defense of their vision of the American future. Cinematic in scope, GETTYSBURG is an information-packed look at the turning points, strategic decisions, technology and little-known facts surrounding the battle. Developed in collaboration with highly esteemed Civil War historians, GETTYSBURG reflects hundreds of individual accounts of the battle--the unique voices of struggle, defeat and triumph that tell the larger story of a bitterly conflicted nation.'
*'Gettysburg' won 2 Emmy Awards in 2011, including Outstanding Special Visual Effects for a Miniseries, Movie or a Special

2006
Director: Martina Nagel
When Robert marries the beautiful Alice they are the 'perfect couple'. But the moment he learns his wife is pregnant, dark secrets from the past fly unbidden into the present and threaten to destroy their future.
Working closely with director Martina, we developed the psychological environments that reflect the descent from happy family life to a darker, more dangerous nightmare.
The images were hand-painted with watercolour and ink, acrylic, or pencil/chalk. We also developed initial concept art to define the romantic/impressionistic mood of the film.
Short Film: Suspension
In 2006, my solo animation project for the Glasgow School of Art 'Suspension' premiered at Darklight Film Festival in Ireland.
Blending my traditional hand painting methods with 3D, a painting unravels onscreen.
The curtain rises, clouds pass, a tower flies into the night. Swirling through a nighttime landscape, the film follows a shadowy female form on a windswept quest chasing a star.
