Elements of fashion and music influence Abi's work. A certain look can become a springboard for a subject matter, like an old Chinese cosmetic ad or Italian haute couture will lead to a new visual interpretation. While her predilection for trip hop grooves set the tone and reflect the mood to complete the overall effect.
As a result, Abi's portraits are intricate and subtle. Her subjects are not picture perfect: their flaws are transformed into impressions of beauty against the romantic backdrop of daily living. In her world, there is no such thing as ugly, a funky groove is playing in the distance, and style is king.
