DESCRIPTION // ‘Perth’ is the first piece of an ever-growing series of minimalist digital-illustrations, that depict some of the most beautiful places in the world. This piece captures the essence of Perth’s outdoor culture, our obsession with travel, and the city’s endless expansion and development. How would you describe your style? Minimalist, bold and geometric. Briefly outline your creative process. What are the major steps? I first pick a subject/scene to illustrate. I then capture the most appropriate view/shot of the scene that encapsulates its beauty and identifiable features. I then take the image to Photoshop and start breaking it up in layers (from background to foreground). I trace each layer and colour them in different shades of grey to create a sense of distance. I often choose subjects that feature bodies of water, to fill the image with a single colour for the sky and its reflection. Who and/or what influences your work and why? My initial influence was New Zealand graphic designer/artist, Bridget Hall. I’ve been to New Zealand every year since 2013 and I’m always impressed
