Hi! I'm an artist and illustrator passionate about realistic portraiture, combining traditional and digital painting methods to tell expressive stories through my work. I have a strong background in fine art from my early studies, including an A-Level in Art, and I love working across mediums like oil painting and graphite drawing. Currently, I am completing my BA (Hons) Illustration degree at Birmingham City University, focusing on book illustrations, gallery exhibitions, film posters, and bespoke commissions. I enjoy creating character-driven pieces that capture emotion and detail, blending traditional techniques with modern digital tools like Adobe Photoshop and Procreate.
