About me
I've been painting and drawing ever since I could pick up a pencil at the age of 3. Art has always been my greatest passion and the language through which I've understood the world.
I grew up undiagnosed autistic and ADHD and so art became my safe place. It was the only place that made sense to me. While the world felt overwhelming, confusing and downright painful, creating art allowed me to slow down, find peace and escape into my own, safe, beautiful world.
Today that exact same love has poured into every single piece I create.
I have done many, many things throughout my life. My very first job was a retail assistant at a photography shop at 15 because I wanted to be a photographer and I'd been photographing friends, models and even weddings. At the same time I thought I might want to be a model myself. I then decided I wanted to be a ballerina so I did full time ballet when I was 16 - but got a foot injury, which then propelled me into becoming a professional makeup artist for 8 years.
And then one day, during the last COVID lockdown in 2021 I decided to post a silly little video where I cosplayed with whatever I had in my cupboard and went viral - my life changed forever. I gained over 1 million followers in under a month, it was the most surreal experience ever. Since then I have been a full time content creator and it is my privilege to be able to combine all my artistic skills and do what I love every day, all thanks to my absolutely beautiful and incredible followers who have supported me throughout my whole journey. I am extremely grateful and will never, ever take any of this for granted.
Thank you so much for being here, it is the absolute honour of my life. <3
