MA work

MA work

As an artist and an illustrator, my work is applicable to contexts of both gallery art and commercial illustration.

My work reflects a diverse range of aesthetic influences. With a love for poster design, Expressionist painting, and African folk art, my approach combines emotive textures and brushwork with block shapes and graphic stylisation.
