Interview by Jimon<\/p>\n

1-What is your earliest childhood memory of making art?\u00a0<\/strong> Drawing at the kitchen table, the earliest drawing I remember is a drawing of Ariel from \u2018The Little Mermaid\u2019 I have it here in a frame hanging in my flat.<\/p>\n

2-What did your path to becoming an artist look like?<\/strong> Art was something I had always wanted to do. My Mum went to Central Saint Martins (\u2018Central\u2019 back then) and studied Jewelry so I was really lucky to have someone always drawing, painting murals around the house; being creative whilst growing up. I\u2019ve also never forgotten being told off at School in Art class for mixing oil and acrylic paint. I loved the thick, bulging texture I was getting. Art was the only lesson I thought I couldn\u2019t be wrong in so I continued to push and play with materials and find new textures.<\/p>\n

3-Where did you grow up and how did that affect you as an artist?<\/strong> I grew up in Nottingham, England which has a great Art and Music scene. I went to the local schools and then went on to complete my Art Foundation there as well. It\u2019s friendly, spacious and has a lot of exciting things going on. It gave me a well-rounded view on life.<\/p>\n
