Biography written by Art Vox London in preparation of the Leontia Gallery Vanitas Exhibiton @artvoxldn
After 2 years of being transitioning my career to a full-time artist, I have engaged in various activities that have reaffirmed my passion for this journey.
I started by attending numerous Craft Fairs, where I not only discovered enjoyed learning about what resonates with collectors but also built valuable connections for future growth.
My dedication into printmaking at Gainsborough House has enabled my work to develop and meet fellow artists to share knowledge and experience within the art world.
The successful launch of Sip & Squiggle workshops which are now expanded to five a month across multiple locations—have allowed me to share my art and connect with an ever-growing audience. A part of my job that is truly inspiring and humbling to meet so many wonderful people.
I am now looking to expand my workshop offerings amongst the corporate world to help demonstrate that creativity is such a powerful but undervalued skill and can bring so much more to the table than people first think. I also have leased a studio, which will allow me to offer tuition on a one to one basis or small groups.
