My story

Oh hay… well here we have a little bit about myself! I was born and raised in Essex, although I wouldn’t class myself as a “typical Essex girl”.

As a creative tattoo artist I recently transitioned my medium from skin to canvas as only within the last few months have I had time to pick up and run with my creative passion of painting. I continue to evolve my creative practice every day, experimenting with a spin on characters and still life. 

I work in a kind of here and there style with tattooing, and I guess that's how I paint. I love working with something super obvious and changing it into how I see it, I can’t plan the outcome it’s just how I feel for the moment and see how we go. I use anything to paint with - rarely will it be a paint brush - if ever, I’m painting with bits of wood at the moment and I’m pretty chuffed with how it’s all looking and coming together too! I’ll use anything to paint with, it just isn’t what you would expect to see someone use I guess.
