My journey so far.
This is a quick journey through my very early exposure to art right up to where I find myself at the moment. This gives insight into my style and inspirations of my work.
My artistic beginnings
Drawing has been a part of my life since I was very young. I'd doodle on every spare scrap of paper I could find, and it has always been my passion. I feel incredibly lucky that this remains true to this day. Throughout school, art was always something I looked forward to.
Discovering diverse expressions
Once I moved to secondary school, I began to explore different types of art, including painting and sculpture. I also fell in love with art history, and learning about incredible artists only fuelled my desire for improvement. My art teacher was wonderfully encouraging, always challenging us to try new things and push our creative process.
My unique artistic style
After school, I continued my art education at a community college, which further introduced me to new forms of art. Here, I began working with textiles and mixed media, and continued to develop new skills in sculpture. It was also during this time that I truly fell in love with painting.
