I’ve always been passionate about art since I was a child, so art has always been a big thing for me and I have always wanted to be an artist. I have many sketchbooks filled with art I have been making since I was really small.

- How did you first discover Frutiger Aero as an aesthetic, and what drew you to it?

I refound frutiger aero and metro through just scrolling through the internet but specifically frutiger metro stuck out to me the most. I think its because of all the bright colours usually used throughout, which make me very happy! Its also partially because of nostalgia too.

I would describe it as something that I would like to hope makes you feel happy!

I use digital most of the time because I guess it's just what I know best for my artwork

Cody Vondell’s artwork really inspires me a lot, I love how clean and vibrant his work looks! The frutiger metro style has really influenced my art I really love the fun patterns and colours.

I think its the circle patterns, glossy orbs and floral patterns that make my art frutiger metro/aero.

Any piece I have done with glossy shapes that aren't circles are a pain to make, as I have to spend ages to make the gloss on the shapes not look warped!

I love this piece I made so much, I really love the detail I managed to pack into this piece! I also love the colour, pink is my favourite colour.
