About me
Highly developed skills in fine art with a specialism in print and drawing, defined as ambitious, self-driven, confident and an excellent ability to communicate. I am a well organised and creative individual I am fantastic at forming relationships with others, artists and the public.
With a background in education, I would like to diversify into a career within a gallery. I am well adapted to learning and take inspiration from contemporary culture and practicing new skills.
My goals lay within the areas of exhibiting and curating, with first class honours within fine arts, winning a prize for my dedication in print making. And masters credits within PGCE primary education; I would love to go forward and do a masters within the arts industry.
My professional studies, within fine art, focuses upon, what Francis Leyotard coined "The post modern condition". The state of culture as it is in the present. More specifically, I am currently tackling the question of the role of the artist and their involvement within politics. Within an era where we cannot deny the involvement of media saturation, and a culture built upon the age of social media. I would like to ask whether the artists ideas, still matter? I hope my research will play a part in the career that I take, I want to use my personal experiences in the art world to dictate the direction I may answer this question.
With my specialism within screen printing, I am able to produce work to a professional standard, ready for exhibition. I have also produced wok on a commercial level, for the marketing of the 2014 "Transition" degree show, Canterbury Christchurch University, My extensive involvement included liaising between various organisations, producing presentations for the student body, and hand printing 500 screen prints for the degree show.
