Misty Athena Stokes Bedfordshire, United Kingdom
I am a mixed media artist based in Bedfordshire. My recent work has focused on abstract, geometric and surreal patterns and shapes, expressing underlying themes of mental health and disability. I graduated from the University of Bedfordshire with a BA (Hons) in Art and Design in 2010, after previously studying fashion and textiles and fine art.
I utilise a variety of materials and techniques when producing my artwork. I have created textile pieces, murals, illustrations, sculptures and event decor.
