“My work has macabre,
fantasy and sci-fi
elements,” says Abigail,
who has always found art
an important means of
communication: “I like to experiment,
work with multiple mediums, learn
more about them, test myself and the
concepts I have in mind,” she says.
Abigail likes to create emotional
platforms and stories in her work full
of symbolic influences. “They are
chaotic, dark, macabre, dreamy. I draw
out emotional intensity in my subjects,
the passion I feel. I depict them in a
warped elegance.” An avid comics
reader, Abigail loves the marriage
between literature and art this medium
offers. “It’s something that really helps
me tell the stories in my own work.
And listening to music helps me with
building atmosphere.”

HE PEERED LONGINGLY
Ink on Bristol board, 11 x 17in
“He peered longingly, his
possessiveness and instinct wanting
her. His humanity remembered love,
yet now she was need, and want, and
desire... A friend and I collaborated
together on some writing that later
inspired me to draw this piece and
colour it in Photoshop. I wanted to
capture the raw emotion of the moment
between these two characters.”

DOCTOR STRANGE
Printer ink, acrylics, drawing ink
on photo matt paper, 8.5 x 11.75in
“This was a happy accident. The
printing went wrong, and I reused the
page for this painting. It was chaos,
and depicts as much.”
