I'm a recent graduate from Loughborough University where I studied Fine Art. When I'm not working as a visual merchandiser, I love painting and drawing. During the difficult times in the coronavirus pandemic, I found myself with more time to create art. With limited space in my one bed flat that I share with my partner, Thomas, I realised the large, messy gravity paintings I once created at university would likely end in tears (on my end AND the landlord's) and a large chunk of deposit missing...

 

So I dusted off my pens and brushes and started documenting the new normal that is lockdown. After all, the days were starting to merge into one, so drawing something I got up to during each day created a bit of differentiation, whether it was the rather mundane task of cleaning the sink, an admission of my new-found coffee addiction or a boogie in the kitchen with Thomas. Regardless, I have so enjoyed creating these drawings and hope they put a smile on your face too. I always welcome feedback, so please feel free to contact me even just to say hello.
