My key skills include a strong attention to detail, innovation, showing initiative and resourcefulness.

Illustration has been a favourite hobby and key part of my life for years, with my main inspiration stemming from my grandpa who produced exceptional pieces. I have continuously studied it throughout school, including my GCSEs, A Levels and then going on to study it at the College of Further Education, obtaining a HND in Art & Design.

I mainly use colour pencils to create realistic portraits and figurative artwork. At the moment I am focusing on using acrylic paints to create these realistic portraits as well as landscapes to improve my skill in this traditional media and push me out of my comfort zone. As well as my grandpa, I find my inspiration by looking at other people's work on platforms such as Instagram and reference photos that catch my eye on Pinterest.

I have also produced album artwork for a friend's band, using Photoshop to create these digital pieces that are different to the traditional medias I am used to, but have thoroughly enjoyed making.

Outside of work

I love travelling and often have a holiday booked to look forward to. When I'm travelling or even just in Guernsey, I love taking photos, especially on my polaroid camera to create a retro and vintage effect.

I also love to cook and bake, and am always bookmarking new recipes to try out. I especially love to cook with my best friends as we always make a theme night out of it (such as Italian night) which makes it a lot more fun and we can have a laugh with a few cheeky drinks!
