A passionate artist greatly inspired by historical, ethical, or environmental issues. I have found great joy in discovering how culture visually describes them to us. I once felt that furthering myself academically was beyond me and spent many years as a gardener enjoying outdoor work. However, taking a Master of Arts degree has helped me learn more about myself and how the autistic mind functions.

Previously to this, I had completed a bachelor’s degree in illustration. During my study, I have created a couple of graphic novels as well as produced a short rough animation that focused on communicating environmental issues. My work often uses a bold and expressive drawing style that creates a strong and clear message within the image. Illustration has become a primary focus of my life and I now aim to push my career forward as Illustrator and artist and am keen to start working in the industry.

I spend most of my time either creating or thinking about how I am creating and for
what purpose. My background study and flexible nature allow me to come up with
concepts and help me find solutions to problems where others might struggle.
Keeping the client's demographics in mind is key to creating the best imagery. As
an experienced painter and drawer I can utilize both digital and traditional skills to
produce a finished product.

Great joy is taken in narrative and historical-based subject matter. Finding the best
way to visually describe a theme or illustrate stories are key processes I have
mastered. This allows me to develop strong illustrations for a variety of genres. This
is due to understanding the research and development of finding

the optimum way of communicating a topic or theme to the audience.

Loyalty and hardworking ethics are among the most valued attributes I can offer
to my employer. Once I become involved with an illustrative project or piece of art,
I become very focused on achieving the best result by exploring

I spent a long time in my early years painting natural landscapes and wildlife,
but now I love creating engaging content whether it be factually based or for
fictional entertainment. I like to spend my weekend designing stories and small
personal animation projects occasionally satirizing a political or historical event.
I have a keen interest in storytelling and films. Creating my own stories and
comics became a very rewarding use of time. I find one of the most enjoyable
aspects of art is that you can bring fiction to life using imagery and it also fulfils
a desire to produce my own narratives and entertain people.
