I moved to Kent in 2018 to study a foundation in art and design, and subsequently a BA in Illustration and Animation at UCA Canterbury. I found freedom in creating and experimenting with many mediums, including mono and lino printing, screen printing, risograph, watercolours, ink and wash illustrating, photography and film and many more. I became fascinated by storytelling through art.

​

Covid and Lockdown hit during my first year of Illustration and Animation, and I found myself feeling a little lost while navigating the production of high quality pieces from my small, student flat. However, it taught me to become more resourceful, creating art from what was to hand.

​

In 2022, I joined Walrus and Oyster, a collaborative art shop in Canterbury. I developed a small business, Ditsy Daisy, and sold handmade decorative pieces, mainly upcycling unwanted textiles into wall hangings, plush cats, and bags.

​

In 2023, I was commissioned to illustrate a book of poems titled “Sirens and Birdsong”. I used ink and wash illustrations to complement the written work.

​

I submitted three digital drawings to be exhibited in the Cartoon museum in London, as part of the “Cats in Cartoons” exhibition between April and September 2025.

​

I love to document my surroundings through photography, and enjoy developing these photographs through cyanotype, and gel printing. I also use my photography as a source of reference for my paintings.

​

In 2025 I rediscovered my love of printmaking and acrylic painting. I draw inspriation from my surroundings in Kent, focusing on the wildlife, citylife, and interactions I experience. I also find my two cats to be characterful subjects in my work.

​

I love to take part in collaborative and community projects. I have designed and installed Christmas window illustrations for a selection of businesses in Canterbury.
