digital realm. After graduation, North began
to develop her voice in the art form. Playing
with traditional techniques and digital post-
production, she has since experimented with
different materials to achieve a fusion of styles.
“I like my images to take on a painterly look
and feel, so trying out different textures either
physically or in post-production can achieve
some amazing results,” says North, whose
recent works explore long exposures with
symmetrical movement, recalling the aesthetic
style of frescos or aged murals.
Like any active artist, North continually
expands her creative reach, attending courses
and reading to keep her skills sharp and
innovative. “I’ve always wanted to play around
with underwater photography, so recently I
purchased an underwater camera housing,” she
says excitedly.
With the recurring theme of water and
natural elements in many of her works, the
addition of underwater equipment will add a
mesmerizing effect to North’s style, which
already achieves fantastical heights. Having
championed shoots on land, we eagerly await
her capture of stories beneath the surface.
