The history of the poster is a fascinating story.  It is one which first restricted itself to the commercial realm and then expanded to be used as a means of expressing mood and fashion.

​

When I was growing up my parents collected citrus fruit crate labels, which they framed and hung on the wall.  I was always curious about the story behind the labels.  Where did they had come from and what does the design mean?  I also found the vivid colours to be gorgeous and captivating.

I like to create vintage art highlighting the places I have been and focusing on the various points that make each place unique to me.
