Profile
I am currently studying in my final year of BA (Hons) Illustration at the University of Worcester. Inspiration for Illustrative work comes from a need to explore how materials react to one another. Creating colours, textures and layers through experimentation. And by applying these processes to every project I undertake I find that my final illustrations are well developed and thoughtful.
