About me

I am a creative individual with a degree in art and design. I have valuable experience and learning in visual art as a University of Southampton graduate. As an exhibiting artist, I have a good understanding of creative practices, where I spend time developing my art. While in education my studies focused on Art which led to me graduating in Fine Art. I am familiar with several artistic techniques including tone, perspective and the use of colour. Using my creative expertise and knowledge of art, I have translated this into illustration. I create inspiring and purposeful illustrations which encourages people to be interested in developing creativity. I focus on a variety of sub areas in illustration to engage with GenZ and Millenial audiences on Instagram and Twitter. With my creative expertise and knowledge of visual art, I promote my passion for art and love for drawing to create effective illustrations. I am currently seeking commissions for social media and print. Email- contact@fifiyellow.co.uk Website- https://fifiyellow.co.uk/home
