I am a textile designer specialising in print design for fashion. My art work
is inspired by the flowing patterns and colours in nature. I use my painting and hand drawing skills to create bold vibrant designs. The contemporary Impressionist artist Jessica Zoob has influenced my artistic style. Her work has encouraged me to experiment painting florals on a large scale and to create textured marks in my work. Furthermore, I use a thick impasto painting technique to add layers and depth to my art work. Finally, I scan my designs into photoshop and layer them together to create intricate digital prints. I have also recently completed an internship in London at fashion company Hermione de Paula. During this placement I gained experience working in a fashion studio designing drawings to be embroidered and printed on to high end garments. Work Experience Hermione de Paula, London (July 2017) I worked within a team to design a bespoke embroidered wedding dress. I designed some floral patterns and typography to scale, which was then embroidered on to the dress. I also worked under the direction of Hermione de Paula; I helped to get her high-end fashion prints ready for industry and experimented putting them into repeat. Gained experience dealing with clients who had appointments at the studio. Inspire Design, Nottingham (June 2016) Designed a mood board for the birthday and baby card collection. Used Photoshop to create my own illustrative design. Awards Joules Competition I was awarded a high commendation for my fashion print collection combining blurred photographs of flowers and painting. |
