Biography

My mission is to make original art more accessible by bringing it into everyday life through ethical, sustainable, and circular fashion. I create all of the artwork myself, drawing inspiration from nature, people, and the environments we share, and translate these pieces onto responsibly made garments so art can be worn and enjoyed beyond traditional gallery spaces.

My vision is to challenge the idea that original art and sustainable fashion are niche or exclusive. By combining hand-created artwork with thoughtful, low-impact production, I aim to offer a meaningful alternative to fast fashion. Through this work, I hope to encourage appreciation for original art, support more responsible consumer choices, and show that creativity and sustainability can naturally exist together.

inspiration

My work is inspired by modern 20th century art, particularly Alphonse Mucha and the Art Nouveau movement, with its use of bold lines, decorative detail, and storytelling imagery. I’m also influenced by artists such as Matisse and Picasso, as well as contemporary illustrators like James Jean and modern artists I follow online.

I’m interested in taking ideas from myth and reworking them into a modern context, using everyday life as a way to explore themes that still feel relevant today. Alongside fine art influences, I draw heavily from pop culture including films, video games, comics, and manga. By blending these influences, I aim to create work that feels visually striking, approachable, and meaningful — art that connects traditional ideas with modern life while simply looking cool and engaging.

medium

I primarily work with acrylic paint on canvas, which allows me to build bold colour, strong line work, and layered compositions. Acrylics suit my approach as they offer both control and flexibility, enabling me to balance detailed illustration with expressive, painterly elements.

Alongside canvas work, I also create pieces using inks on Bristol Board paper. This medium allows for a more graphic and illustrative style, focusing on line, contrast, and clarity of form. In addition, I produce digital artworks using Procreate, which I use both as a standalone medium and as a way to develop ideas, compositions, and colour studies. Working across these media allows me to adapt my artwork for different contexts while maintaining a consistent visual style.
