Personal Statement
I love line, colour and decoration often I feel I just want to draw. My drawing are varied and I often use a combination of traditional media and digital drawing tools (principally Adobe Photoshop Elements).
Over the past year I’ve felt that my work had been particularly inspired by animals but ‘interestingness’ is what I value most in everything… so my work is quite varied.
I aim to continue my professional and artistic development and to pursue other creative opportunities.
