This is my final stool design, which I upholstered myself. I am really happy with my final outcome and cant wait to get it placed in the final show.

2 Piece dressing screen design

This is a two piece dressing screen design with full length portraits of Marilyn Monroe and Dita Von Teese. I have tried the frame on the outside with a gold gradient and left the other one in a silvery pencil sketch, I'm not quite sure which one I will choose yet but I will make that decision over the weekend ready to print next week.

Hand-drawn side profile portraits

These are my own hand-drawn, pencil sketched, side view portraits of Audrey Hepburn, Grace Kelly, Princess Diana, Dita Von Teese, Elizabeth Taylor and Marilyn Monroe. These are for wallpaper designs from the Ornate and Burlesque Collection. I will show how these drawings have been used in wallpapers shortly.

Welcome

This is a diary of my final year... I am a third year student studying Textiles/Surface Design BA (hons) at the University of Bolton. I have been drawing my whole life, my main inspirations come from the things that surround me. I am very passionate about music which takes a big part in my work. I love working with inks and illustrating with pens. I also love doing portrait work using all types of media but mainly pencil drawings.

I would think of myself more as an Illustration Designer rather than a Textile Designer. But I am open to all media's and surfaces with my work as I am an ambitious artist. I also use Photoshop and Illustrator to create my bespoke designs.
