Back to profiles

I am a multimedia artist working from my home studio in Keighley, West Yorkshire.

My work is mainly character based, taking inspiration from folklore and animals. I like to keep my work lighthearted and whimsical but there is often a sense of not belonging that underpins my characters, I like to take things that are often seen as creepy or undesirable and make something more relatable and approachable.

My 2D work mainly consists of digital art, I do this via Procreate on my iPad. But I also create work using materials such as gouache, ink, watercolour or acrylic paint. My 3D sculpture is highly eclectic using various materials depending on the subject and the size of my sculpture.

I have just started exploring textile sculpture with the aim to create poseable sculptures and set designs to photograph them in.
