I am an illustrator who tackles complicated subjects which require sensitivity and understanding. Through making visuals I create creative solutions to spread awareness and insight into real world matters. Before taking on a project I heavily investigate the subjects I will be exploring to make sure I can illustrate to the best of my abilities. My work is produced by creating lino prints or collaging and painting. The projects I undergo are fairly fast paced and I love the opportunity to illustrate subjects that cannot be depicted literally.

"Why we’re Polarized" Structure. Inspired by Erza Klein’s book ‘Why We’re Polarized’ I created a series of four colour A3 linoprints to explore America’s political system to reflect on the foundations of polarization, physiological and ideological extremes of America.
For my final self-directed project, I wanted to display my understanding for real world matters and show that I can handle a variety of subjects. Additionally I want to present my skills as a lino-printer and ability to create editorial illustrations.
The final self-directed project, gave me the opportunity to explore subjects that I feel a lot of passion for. Some of these passions include the American Nightmare, NHS crisis and financial uncertainty. I found it incredibly empowering to be able to use my illustration as a platform and this something I want to continue to do so with my professional career.
I hope to continue challenging ideas and pushing my abilities.
