BA Hons, Digital Art, 2007

Always been a creative soul, itching to get to my Art lessons in primary school and finding joy studying this vast subject, from painting styles to learning about artists. 

I loved textiles as a child and after my foundation degree in Art and Design I went on to study at the London College of fashion. I realised after a year that this was not the path for me and I took a course at Kingston college to study Digital Art which I loved.

My biggest inspiration was my father, he repaired oriental carpets, a master of his trade. I was always surrounded growing up by culture, textures, colours, patterns and creativity and this stays with me forever.

I work part time as a receptionist/administrative assistant however, my passion is to paint, mostly canvas painting and make things, from concrete Cactus pots to jewellery and key rings.
