About me
I am a mixed media artist/ Illustrator based in South East London, graduated from the University of East London in 2021. I currently specialise in digital art (including portraits), embroidery & punch needle art; also dabbled in lino printing as well. I have a keen interest in Afro-futuristic and ethereal aesthetics and breath-taking otherworldly landscapes. The awareness in the promotion of Black and ethnic minorities in art is important to me; therefore, I would incorporate this in my work. Colour and vibrancy are the main components in my work, it is enjoyable to experiment with colour themes. I have about 14 years of experience working within the NHS therefore have extensive administration and secretarial skills which are transferable skills. www.instagram.com/creole_arts/
