Through his practice, Estabrook explores the playful innocence between the real and the make-believe, depicted in various objects, from toys to stuffed animals and colourful blankets. He captures nostalgic happiness with an almost tangible quality through his signature textured brushwork, playing with light and shadow. Rendering the furry surfaces of his plush toys with textures and meticulous detail, he adds depth and dimension, which permits his furry friends to glow brilliantly on the canvas, showcasing his ability to transform an imaginative subject into an aesthetically pleasing experience.
