About me
I am a final year textiles student. I have a graphic eye and a love of bold colour and simple shapes, regularly experimenting with scale and layouts to develop prints suited towards an interior setting.

I mainly use hand processes such as collage and screen printing to achieve unique results with a ‘cut and paste’ look. I also like to work with select hard surface materials such as wood, tile, Perspex and Jesmonite to create fun 3D outcomes.

- Still Here Still LifeA collection of screen and digital prints along with UV printed tiles and placemats. Named ‘Still Here Still Life’, inspired by the Instagram challenge of the same name in which a new still life prompt was posted each week to keep artists engaged and creating during lockdown. I decided to focus on objects and still life settings around my own home, such as my breakfast and my mum’s vases, drawing and collaging from these and developing them into graphic and playful outcomes that showcase my own
