Artist's statement

I like life drawing, so the goal of the illustration projext is to showcase the character of the most impactful people that got me where I am today. I am also looking into how to make a career path from my illustrations so I will be using this collection to show my skills and my personality to potential employers and galleries.
This is a preview of the Impactful People project. This catalouge and accompanying exhibition acts as an opportunity for you to fully experience my artwork in its large scale glory as well as in more commercial editorial format. The full art catalogue of this project will be available at the BA (Hons) Communication Design Degree Show.
