PERSONAL PROFILE
I am a Digital Artist with
a wide repertoire of graphic skills in the abstract/surrealistic style.
My skills span: graphic design, website design, fashion, textiles, fine
art, photography, architectural design, building databases as well as using
the computer as a digital laboratory. Using my extensive and developing
portfolio, I have undertaken commissions to customer’s exact print/web-ready
specifications, including colour-scheme and dimension matching to architect's
requirements.I developed my technique, having studied Design in Nottingham
on a two year foundation course and then at Derby University studying Fashion
Design. My unique repertoire of techniques and an eclectic study background
contribute to the artistic process and make my images genuinely original
and individual.
