Part of a mock brief from 'Make It In Design'. I was tasked to create a fun gift wrap and gift accessories collection in a theme of my own choosing. I was particularly inspired by psychadelia from 1960's and 1970's album artwork, posters and fabrics. Subsequently, this design was sold exclusively for fabric wholesale purchase.

Digital Illustration.

A personal project exploring simple illustrative portraiture from reference photography.

Inspired by Rankin's beauty portraits and use of colour, I created a series of portraits using extreme make up as a part of my studies into artistic process during my Foundation Art course.

Other explorations in portraiture; The practice of blind drawing while using my hand to 'trace' the contours of my face. Without removing the media from the paper. Charcoal and Pastels.

A1 test sheet. Mark making with quink and indian ink, manipulations caused by candlewax, pva glue, gesso and bleaching methods.

One of my favourite elements of my time studying Foundation Art has been the freedom of explorative mark making and use of materials I'm not comfortable with.

As a part of my Foundation Art studies I explored various techniques to create a wearable sculpture and market it for exhibition. I chose to work with ink and origami folding techniques to create a headpiece.

The headdress then inspired my poster design to create a striking piece of visual communication that had a clear narrative of the subject matter and theme of the mock exhibition.

Sketchbook excerpts: As a part of my Foundation Art studies into process, mark making and colour I was influenced by Fiona Rae (in particular her Panda series) to create this inspired piece using a variety of painting, stencil and collaging techniques.

Fiona Rae inspired piece: I was particularly pleased with the final outcome. With a familiar use of bold colour I was seated within my comfort zone enough, but the variety of materials and techniques used encouraged me to push boundaries to create a piece that presents multiple.
