About Me
Committing Random Acts of Art
I’m a self-taught mixed media artist from Archway, London. I’ve loved drawing and painting since I was a kid, but I definitely took the scenic route to becoming an artist!
Almost since I can remember, I’ve struggled with self-doubt, depression and anxiety. I was petrified of other peoples’ opinions, and spent most of my 20’s trying to be liked by people, often failing dismally. Rediscovering art helped me let go of some of this fear and accept myself; good, bad and ugly.
I owe my art journey to a great therapist, who encouraged me to try old hobbies after a long period of illness and isolation. I’d almost forgotten I had any! Immediately I began creating, and I’ve not stopped since.
As explaining myself in words isn't my strong suit, art is how I communicate my thoughts, feelings + experiences. But I still fight self-doubt, so when I find inspiration, I don’t overthink and I run with it. And if I make people smile, I win!
