Storytelling AF

My work is bright and colourful, inspired by nature, storytelling and the everyday. My process is always a mixture of things; whether that is drawing, painting, printmaking or digital work. It always, always starts in my sketchbook as a drawing though. I love it so much and keeping a log of my ideas is a really important part of my practise. I think one of my proudest moments was having my work in the RA Summer Show 2022. It was as surreal as it could get. I still think about it sometimes and can't believe it. Art makes me happy because just looking at something I find beautiful can completely change how I feel within a day. I also get so much pleasure out of making it. It helps with my mental health, helps me problem solve and I love using art to tell stories.

Fun Fact- I have a very, very big sweet tooth! If we go to dinner and aren't having dessert, there's gonna be problems!
