Colenso Will is an Australian illustrator, painter and architectural designer based in Los Angeles.
When did you first think about art as something you wanted to do? Were you encouraged or discouraged by family, friends, teachers, mentors? It’s really only been quite recently. I started studying aerospace engineering but I was terrible at it, so I switched and became an architect. I’ve been lucky enough to work for some really artistic architects, so I suppose I’m coming into art and painting through architectural drawing and design. To be honest I never really asked anyone what they thought, I just trust my instincts. I’ve found that if you work hard people are very willing to teach you what they know.
