I LIKE THE QUIRKY

About Me

I am an installation artist, interested in the conceptual, and post-modern. I have a thing about battered old furniture, second shops and drinking lots of coffee. I am vegan, and believe in an animal's right to life. I like to party occasionally, other times I can be rather reclusive. I'm not happy unless I'm doing something creative, {and I'm being a bit obssessed about it}. I have two children who I love spending time with. I am currently studying on a Fine Art degree, and would love to be involved in more group exhibitions, I work with mainly the sculptural form, and photography, within installation. I admire many artists, especially those that inject a bit of black humour into their work. I am a bit analytical about everything - probably too much - and might not talk to you much at first till I get to know you, bit shy, I suppose...............But im not all serious!!
