After graduating from University in 2004, in Graphic Design and Illustration, I have worked as a Graphic Designer for 4 years.
I have also taken part in several exhibitions in Birmingham, which have included Urban Outfitters and the Custard Factory, and in Bristol at the Here Gallery.
My work includes a fresh, bright mixed media of work using acrylic, typography and pen and ink. I like to use an array of materials to create colourful, honest and fun pieces of work which includes Canvases, T-Shirts, Greeting Cards and Badges. I am inspired by music, art, photography and typography.
Prices start at £2.50.
