About me
My practice lies within the specialism of Print Design & Illustration. With a heavily drawing based approach to working, I am inspired by colour, composition and storytelling. I have a very broad approach to the context in which I apply my work, whether that be exploring surface pattern design, illustration or fine art. My work is influenced by my fascination of the natural world, which I use to explore and develop concepts and narratives to inform the direction of my practice. Often exploring themes such as childhood memories, imagination, animals and fairytales. I would describe my work as colourful, often naive and whimsical.
I am very keen to gain valuable experience and broaden my skills within the textiles industry. I thrive in a creative environment and am very self motivated and driven.

- The Lily Pond- 'Summer Picnic''Summer Picnic' is a celebration of the natural world, exploring the beautiful colour palettes and sense of joy that summertime brings. My scarf design is a digital print of an original painting from my project 'The Lily Pond,' where I investigated the context of fine art. Using intuition as the driving force behind my paintings to respond to the natural environment around me, the scarf design transforms a fine art painting into a wearable piece of art.
