About me
I'm a young graduate artist currently situated in Farnham but moving to Brighton in August.
Projects
  • Overgrown
    OvergrownOvergrown is a series of watercolour paintings that explore my own and others experiences with mental health and how these struggles can make you feel 'overgrown'. I use botanical imagery as a double entendre; on one hand they represent the overwhelming suffocation of mental health problems, and on the other it attempts to inspire growth and recovery.
  • Mycology
    MycologyMycology explored the crucial role of fungi in our eco system. Fungi fits into neither flora or fauna category and is considered an entire kingdom of its own, my illustrations play with the idea of mushrooms as people rather than plants to draw attention to the way they think and communicate in an almost human way.
