WAS Show!

Hello everyone! So, I haven't been good at keeping you up to date with what I have been up to recently.. so I'll do a quick recap!

I moved to Wimbledon Art Studios in February where I have been painting in a new studio! The place is full of talented artists and twice a year it opens its doors to the public to share all the great work! It was my first time being a part of the show as well as visiting it, so it was a great experience. As it was my first exhibition I was really excited and I'm really happy with the way it turned out, the people I had the chance to meet and have many conversations about art, which I loved!

I want to say a BIG thank you to all the people who helped me set everything up and for coming to support me. <3

Here are some photos of the show and studio:

Bulgarian Winter

Happy New Year Everyone! Greetings from Bulgaria! I celebrated my first Christmas and New Years here in over 8 years, it was lovely spending it with friends and family! We all went up to the mountains  for a couple of days, went skiing, drunk malt wine, ate yummy chicken soup and played a lot of cards.

This dog was amazing...

My god-sister had her first skiing lesson, which she managed really well, but unfortunately hated. :D

The weather was great! Really warm and sunny, unfortunately my battery died..so these are the only photos I managed to take!

Happy Holidays Everyone! x

Christmas Time!!!

Merry Christmas everyone! I hope you're all enjoying the holidays! My head's been everywhere these past couple of weeks, so I haven't had time to post stuff, but here are some Christmassy things for you all!

Every year I give family members paintings/drawings as gifts (only the ones that have been good all year :D ) I couldn't take photos of all but here are some for you all to enjoy.

Also I met Santa!Turns out he really IS a cool guy!

Finally had to share my best gift (from my mum) ..not sure if there was a message in there...if she was trying to say something... :D but I thought it was pretty cool!

Happy Holidays everyone!!!

Fish

Hello hello,

I have been working on a variety of projects. The one I've been most excited about is some christmas card designs which are currently drying so I will post very soon but for now here are some fish photos I took at a garden centre near my house of very funky tropical fish.

I must admit, fish aren't the easiest to capture on camera! This fish in particular would move as if on purpose every time I pointed my camera at her, so couldn't take a great photograph. The colours were amazing so I thought I'd share anyway.

Hello guys

I've been drawing a lot of animals recently for a project I am working on and I've had a lot of fun..glad I've managed to have a  little break for a few days thought.

My uncle has been putting together some snowboarding videos from last year and made me want to make one myself. The first time I attempted it I realised at the end my battery had died not long in..
My second attempt was slightly more successful!
I found it a very fun exercise, as I do tend to get carried away and this kinda loosened up my painting, I used acrylics, which I used to hate but think work well for me in this style.

I didn't get the chance to carve a pumpkin this year for Halloween..which sucked, but I did have a little visitor come and paint with me a scary halloween themed painting! 

Also check out my friend Nat Griffin and her work, she's made some pretty cute illustrations and is selling christmas cards in her Etsy shop!

Etsy Shop!

Hello everyone!

Signed Prints of 'Lova' and 'Oldskool Gaga' are now available to purchase in my Etsy shop!
Click the link here to enter the shop! It can also be found via my website.

I really enjoyed working on this commissioned piece for a very dear friend! The elements and colour palette I used are a representation of her character and I think suit her very well, she seemed to agree :D 

This month was the release of new London based Arts and Music magazine, Collision. I was asked to illustrate an article called 'The Book is Dead'. Here's my illustration !

I have been working on a new project for Xccelerate, I got to illustrate a range of subjects which I hadn't before, it was a challenge at times, but overall very fun!

Thanks for reading, more stuff coming soon!
