❓ What influences you that might surprise people?

🗣️ My nieces. I often mention how obsessed I am with the little human beings surrounding my life but I don’t often say how I craft all my work as future fountains of inspiration I hope they get to drink from in the future. Sources of wisdom, guidance, nourishment and peace.

🎒 The Black Artists Grant (BAG) is a £500 no-strings financial support to help UK-based Black creatives.
We recognise that a full institutional overhaul and dismantling of racist structures is required to transform the art industry permanently, but we hope in a small way that this grant will help enable recipients to continue their artistic practice when the odds are so stacked against them.
🎨 To all aspiring Black artists in the UK: 🚀 Apply for the Black Artists Grant today or tell a friend to tell a friend.
