I am a creative individual, with four years of work experience as a Gallery Assistant, Artist Consultant, Studio Assistant, Admin Assistant, Freelance Artist and have had extensive recognition with public-facing roles. Some of my key achievements so far have been selling my own bespoke artworks to commercial/private collections which can be seen in national magazines such as House Gardens, Forbes and Evening Standard along with being featured as a contestant on Sky Art's Portrait Artist of the Year - a national tv program.
Now, I am looking to grow within a gallery culture and expand my current experience.
