I'm an artist based in the Lakes. I first grew my passion for art, after being obsessed with colouring in books and drawing at 8. Here, in Kirkcudbright, also known as the artist town; I was encouraged my by teachers to spend extra time on my painting and drawing. I loved this chapter of my life, and is where I really knew that art was something I wanted to pursue as a career.
At 14, I moved to the Lake District with my mother and little sister. The obstacles of life challenged me, in the coming adolescence years. However, I still took time to follow my passion, and in 2015 I finished a Level 3 Extended Diploma in Art and Design at Kendal collage. After this I had some problems with my mental heath, and when better, I went on to work in care supporting disabled adults and children. I still continued to read about art and work from home when possible during this time.
In the past several years, I’ve been working out of a studio in Holme, then Penrith, and now Great Strickland.
I draw my inspiration from the Lake District, Pinterest, people, as well as other artists. My style has somewhat drifted from realism to abstract in the last few years, and I am excited to see where it flows next. However, it is still broad, and I enjoy painting and drawing a range of subjects - and experiment with different styles.
I am currently applying for a degree in fine art with Lancaster University, and aspire to attend the Royal Academy of Arts in the future if possible.
