Description

Hola!

I have recently moved back to London after living and studying (Geography) in Manchester and I'm currently looking for a place to spend a few weeks away over the winter.

I'm developing my artistic practice as a painter at the moment and recently graduated from the Lewisham School of Muralism. We learned about the practicalities of community engaged mural making and painted two group murals and did one solo project. The picture of chickens on the garage in my photos is my solo project. I had such a laugh doing this and I’m keen to continue painting place specific pieces.

In 2018 I lived in Mexico for a year where I studied Art, Spanish and Anthropology. I was involved in some small/work away food growing projects whilst I was out there and found it was a great way to share skills and practice Spanish.

I'm also currently doing a horticulture course, so I have a pretty good working knowledge of gardening and growing crops. I am definitely interested in expanding my expertise and learning to work in various different climates.
