My Story
Growing up in Maidenhead, my interest in art began at the age of 14 years old. With artists on both sides of the family, I had the encouragement to persue my art studies in A-Level Fine Art and Photography at The Henley College. For my gap year I chose to enroll onto a Foundation Art & Design 1-year course at Reading College, where my mother attended as a teenager.
​
With the variety of newly learnt disciplines, I moved to Cornwal to study my BA(Hons) Fine Arts degree at The Falmouth University, where I chose to specialise in Oil Painting and Art History. Being able to dedicate my time to portraiture and oil medium studies allowed me to broaden my techniques and define my hand coordination skills to be perfect. I continued on doing my MA in Games Art, where I learnt digital art and 3D modelling.
Returning back home to Wargrave in the Summer of 2025, my personal studies and projects have begun to flourish. Learning carpentry and volunteering as an Artist in Residence at The Abbey (Reading), I am constantly broadening my skillset, taking on new challenges.
