I am a Scottish born visual artist currently in my final year of studying Communication Design at the Glasgow School of Art.
I like to produce art that creates wonderment and a magical sense of the
world. My work draws influence from my past studies in Geology and
Environmental Studies where I obtained a BSc (Hons) and MEnvS, respectively. I
like to focus on environmental issues such as plastic and light pollution
while instilling a feeling of hope. I explore the use of analogue
mediums such as film photography and cyanotypes and enjoy combining these traditional
techniques with digital ones to create more unique pieces of work.
One of my recent works includes a short documentary film ‘A Spoonful of Chat’ which was a
collaborative project with artist and curator Fan Zhao and the
Wednesday Women’s Group at Milk Cafe, offering a behind the
scenes insight into ‘The New Scots Cookbook.’ In ‘A Spoonful of Chat’, I
attempted to convey the human side of the wonderful strong women from various
parts of the world who help to enlighten and empower each other.
