Description:
I am a UK-based artist and writer, specialising in floral, landscapes and line drawing. As a writer, I intend to write epic urban fantasies inspired by fairytales and mythology stories. I am currently working on my first novel loosely based on Norse Mythology.

As a little girl, I was always very creative being curious about the arts, and enjoyed reading, drawing and painting like every child world, but I never thought I would pursue it as at that age, I saw it only a hobby. However, it was not until I was ten years old when I received my very first professional watercolour painting set as a Christmas present from my grandfather, that I began to see it as not just a hobby, but a fun and rewarding career exploring different practises from watercolour and acrylic painting, to line drawing.
​
I started writing when I was fifteen, where I was on holiday and the idea of a girl who was born on another world but raised on Earth came into my mind, inspired by a quote from a television programme, where one of the main characters wrote about a comet. However, I became focused on school and university work and suffered from writer's block, that I set the book to one side but kept my notes safe. Over time, I made changes and did more research, eventually coming across Norse Cosmology, expanding the story further.
​
My inspiration for art comes from nature, animals, photography and life, whereas for writing: mythology, fantasy and historical landmarks.
​
Influences include Georgia O'Keeffe, Claude Monet, Walter Crane, Johanna Basford, JK Rowling, Sarah J. Maas and Michelle Madow.
