About
As an Illustrator I enjoy creating colourful narrative pieces. My work primarily takes inspiration from the female narrative, mythology and experiences I have faced. My work as an illustration student has also led me to increasingly express myself through creative writing and I enjoy finding ways to tie these two together in my work. As I have gone through my degree I have developed a passion for conceptual graphic novels and zines as a way to explore the human experience. My main aim with all my work is to have fun and create colourful illustrations that connect with people.
She Will Burn, cover and page excerpt
My graphic novel 'She Will Burn' is a work of love, I created this novel not only to remind myself but others who have had similar situations that there is hope and growth after relationships make you feel worthless. I allowed my written work to drive the creation, using my experience of a toxic relationship to create something beautiful out of the ashes.
