An example of graphic design

Here is a quick graphic design using styles and images that I created using Krita.

My new Etsy store logo!

I love this new design. It combines my own art and aesthetic style into a minimal design.

Joy

This painting makes me happy everytime I see it!

TA work

Everything we do in schools is precious. We worked extra because it was for the kids! And what a privilege it was to be a person that got to enrich children’s lives with a little bit of whimsy at school. As part of the end of term celebrations before the summer, I worked extra everyday to provide something fun to look forward to. This “summer is here” banner was created on a whim, just because I could. It was great to see kids faces light up when they realised it was cute little cats.

As a TA

This was my contribution to the children’s art week experience. I had great fun showing the kids it was okay to draw on the windows! I hope their parents didn’t mind either!

As a TA

Working as a TA, I had the privilege to meet many talented young children and as part of the children’s week in June we got to paint the school windows using chalk pens. I was the TA responsible for the project and had great joy going to each classroom and getting to see bits and pieces of their personality shine as we experimented and drew things that made us happy. A true privilege and an experience I will always hold dear.

Custom design

This painting was created for an amazing person who is a true tuba player and loves to wear a pink shirt. I created this as a gift for them to thank them for their wisdom. I hoped to capture their essence and personality in this piece.

Custom paintings

These three pieces were painted for my colleagues when I worked as an SEN teaching assistant. Each one curated perfectly for a specific person. Incorporating bits of their personality in each.

Custom piece

This beauty was painted as a Christmas present for a colleague. It was part of my witchy/ grim reaper collection. I tailored this particular painting for the person using aspects of their personality. With her pink/ blue and purple hair as inspiration and her explosive and positive energy, I hoped to capture as much of her personality into the art. Painted on thick watercolour paper and watercolour, inks and acrylic pens.

Wedding table decor

The inspiration for my wedding anniversary resin art. I hand made over 40 table decorations for my wedding. Years later and they became a piece of my art. I used aspects of these to incorporate into the wedding anniversary gift I made for my husband.

Practise makes perfect

Practise weekly, even the basics. Repetition and patience!

Practise makes perfect

Every now and then we have to keep our skills fine tuned. It doesn’t hurt to practise the basics.

Collaboration

Me and my mum worked on this piece together, combining both our skills and styles.

Acrylic pouring medium.

Portrait

Practice and take your time. A hard lesson to learn when drawing and painting portraits.
