About me
I am a young female artist currently working at Somerset House and Parasol Unit. I am looking for a challenging and rewarding role within a creative industry. Whilst studying Fine Art at Goldsmith's, University of London I developed my painting skills with oil and acrylic, and draw realistic and thoughtful portraits. I am also a detailed hand embroiderer, specialising in personal thoughts, feminist phrases and powerful sentences. Whilst working within galleries, I have demonstrated excellent customer service, organisational and communication skills. I am able to provide creative and effective solutions to problems efficiently and smoothly. An enthusiastic hard worker who is willing to take on all aspects of a role.
