I am a illustrator who uses mixed media, videography and printmaking. I am passionate about raising awareness and discussing societal issues in an abstract nature. Creating raw images has allowed me to have integrity as an artist - showing my audience my perspective visually.

Projects
- Rave Journal 2020As apart of my latest project: 'Is rave culture dead in 2020?' I created a visual journal of my rave journey in 2020 - exploring the different issues and perspectives through interview responses and reportage illustration. I have used a variety of different mediums and art styles in the book to show the diversity within rave culture.
- You Stupid Bitch Lino ComicIn 2019, I created a campaign promoting safe drinking in Britain: discussing binge drinking culture through reportage illustration, merchandise and a drinking awareness comic called 'You Stupid Bitch',made from lino print. The comic is an example narrative of someone who had too much to drink and fell over as a result of binge drinking, using satire to make the comic engaging for my audience.

During my time at University I have grown in confidence as an artist: developing my art style and experimenting with different mediums. The set briefs gave me the tools to apply my knowledge and intuition to create strong pieces of reportage artifacts.
