A recent Illustration graduate at Norwich University of the Arts. My practice evolves are making playful and decorative pieces that are rooted in narrative. Favouring the tactility working by hand; I have a strong awareness of gouache painting, lino, screen printing, and book making; nurturing the practices of craft. I gather inspiration from my surroundings particularly people, stories and place, with close attention on colour and space. The playfulness and sense of warmth is something I strive for in my practise which I believe this can be achieved through working by hand.
