My CV:
I am always looking to become a part of a team to create something wonderful and memorable with other artist's! If you require someone to take a position or a freelancer for a contracted amount of time- feel free to look at my CV below along with my work experience listing and see if I fit your requirements.
My Work & Voluntary Experience:
Here is a collection of work I have done as a Freelance Artist for clients, along with work I have done voluntarily for communities, other artists and companies:
Clay Workshop Artist & Disability Steward For Pangaea Sculptor's Centre (2022):
rom 11th July to 18th July, I volunteered with a group of artists and workers from Pangaea Sculpture Centre to help produce an art piece. The project was apart of 'Hand Earth Gesture Return', a community in Coventry and Warwick which means that we solely used materials from the Earth which we could return once the art piece was finished.
During my week with Pangaea, I helped aid in clay workshops to help the public produce flowers to place on our sculpture. Due to me being a Disability Steward, I helped a lot of people with sensory issues and disabilities that impacted their ability to join in. I made sure no matter what, that they were involved in some way!
The overall art piece was a large gateway/mud hut which was inspired by the cultures of India and Africa. We loved the tradition of these cultures making clay and hay statues of their god and goddesses and returning them to the Earth as an offering and sign of peace and belief. We took inspiration of this lovely symbolism and made our gateway a place for people to put their negativities away; so we could close it up with clay during our ceremony and place the flowers on the now closed up gateway to symbolise the new beginnings and positivity we desired. We then danced in the rain (we used sprinklers for this!) and listened to the drummers.
Wall Mural for Coventry C-ALP'S Building (2022):
During my final semester at Coventry University, we were offered to produce a mural for the Universities C-ALPs Building which was the Centre for Advanced Low-carbon Propulsion Systems. I produced a handful of designs and concepts for them that brought nature and machinery together. During this, I also experienced teamwork with other students who caught their eye and helped develop the visuals the clients preferred.
Animator, Light Technician & Artist For A.B Productions (2022):
A.B Productions is a short film production company who reached me during early 2022 to get a 2D animation and artist for creative in put. I gladly accepted and was an art assistant to the director- helping with lighting effects, character development, designing props and scenery and making the animation for the middle of the film.
This was fantastic experience working with other freelancers from another part of the creative spectrum and seeing the work that is put into films.
Coventry Ellen Terry Theatre Poster Design (2021):
In 2021, I was honoured to be able to create posters for Coventry Universities' theatre in Ellen Terry. The show was 'Secret In The Wings' by Mary Zimmerman. Due to the story being very metaphorical between reality and fairy tales, I was able to play around a lot with the designs and produce some really fun illustrations for the drama crew.
Freelancer For Short Film Productions (2019-onwards):
Once I began to explore concept art and focus more on story-telling through animation, (along with moving away from my past as a traditional portrait artist) - I attracted a lot of clients from the indie film industry. With this, I did a lot of logo designing for a large volume of companies, concept art for directors, offer support during storyboard clean-up and even produce animations for scenes of movies. With this, I also acquired a lot of hands-on experience with expensive film equipment as I would mostly be on set or travelling with the crew.
