About me
I found my passion for art and storytelling relatively later in life, while taking some time off to look after my children I first discovered an exciting new world of comics and graphic novels. I was blown away by the potential of the medium and knew I wanted to create my own comics. I took up drawing again, enrolled on a zine making workshop and started to build a body of work. I now make and sell my own self-published zines and comics, exhibiting at fairs and conventions across the UK. I also lead zine-making workshops in Yorkshire. I recently returned to university where I am studying for an MA in Illustration with Graphic Novel. I am based in Leeds, UK.
My work
A lot of the work I create is influenced by the things I really love. I started making zines in 2018 as a way of sharing my interest in music and film history with a particular focus on women's role in it. I'm also really passionate about my hometown of Leeds and its heritage; it's always great connecting with people over my local history zines. I'm particularly drawn to the idea of documenting under-represented aspects of cultural history and collective memory. My comics explore personal stories which cover a range of themes such as mental health, life events and personal growth. I aim to create an emotional connection with the reader and I hope that some of my stories may resonate with you.
