ABOUT

I am a Welsh artist who has had a passion for the creative world from a very young age. It started to come into practice when I was 14 years old and had the opportunity to publish my drawings as Chapter illustrations for the book ‘White Petals’. At this point, I began to truly appreciate the pleasure and solace that art can bring to both myself and others, as well as the opportunity to communicate through it.

Artist Statement

My work features many themes, although identity is a recurring element. My aim is for my pieces to be relatable and a self-reflection of one's raw self. I also want to raise crucial issues that affect our own identities. My works are expressive, emotive and as though I have taken parts of myself and turned them into art. My pieces are an extension of me; understanding my work is understanding myself.
