I love using my hands to create art. It is what got me into textile design. The feel of fabric in my hands still excites me! However, over the last few years, I discovered a newfound love for digital art and design. I have been able to combine these two creative areas across a broad range of works. Despite this, I have always been apprehensive about my skills as a digital artist. The course at Whitecliffe has offered me the opportunity to explore my capabilities as a digital artist, to confront and conquer some of the fears I had for the medium. It has given me the confidence and belief to trust my decisions, and my ability to produce work of a high standard.
