My Digital Portfolio.

Enclosed here is a just a fraction of my work over the past five years of education. Some images are from my sketchbook and some are resolved pieces of work from various projects spanning through GCSE, AS, A2 and Foundation. Some images are illustrations made for books and some are from my personal sketchbook. The images were chosen to demonstrate a broad approach to my work, to display various mediums of working and some were chosen simply for their illustrative style. I am attracted to illustration because of the possibilities available when thinking about ideas and concepts visually. Animation also seems like a fantastic means of creativity and I am drawn to the narrative aspect of both subjects. I am extremely keen to develop and broaden my style and way of thinking, to reach and experience new ways of creating in these fields. The possibilities of illustration and animation seem endless to me and I very much wish to become a part of this creative world.

Thank you for your consideration and I hope to be hearing from you soon.

Zeus the IT Girl. 2010.



Part of the 'Obsessive Documentation' Project on the Foundation course. An ironic piece of collage on the study of Zeus, my chosen thing to doument.

Stalins Victims. 2009.



This is an A2 sized page from my sketchbook. When looking at the theme of lost identity, I copied mug-shot photographs of just a fraction of the thousands killed by Joseph Stalin's regieme. I put them all together to create this sort of ensemble piece of dramatic illustration.

The King and the Corpse. 2008.



An illustration designed for the front cover of a book of Indian folk tales. This particular image was drawn for the main story, about a corpse that comes to life and befriends a King.

Self Portait. 2008.



Self Portrait to introduce the A2 exam sketchbook on the theme 'discord'.

Dancing With Confusion. 2009.



This is a drawing in ink and pastel, inspired by the film Waking Life by Richard Linklater, all about the power and significance of dreams.

GCSE Final Piece. 2007.


GCSE Final Piece. 2007. This sculpture was compiled out of many small objects from my bedroom in an attempt to become a sort of 3-D collage. I used a helmet as a base and attatched the objects using chicken wire to make the head. It was orignally inspired by Basquiat's painting 'Untitled (Head)'.
