More details about your skills

As an artist, I work mainly in illustration and textiles. I have created artwork for organisations, such as logo illustrations textile commissions. I am also a freelance workshop facilitator at various organisations and museums, where I teach children (and sometimes adults) different artistic techniques. In this line of work I have become passionate about sharing my knowledge with others, enjoying connecting with the community through creativity. I also have experience in event management, having founded and organised my own art fair in Bristol.

I have also held down many jobs in Retail & Hospitality, working as a sales assistant for many years. I also was a waitress in a busy cafe, where I attended to customers, baked cakes, and served food. Furthermore, I volunteer as a cook for a charity in Bristol, UK, which supplies food for the homeless. I enjoy cooking, preparing food, and interacting with people.
