A woman surrounded by dogs/ Becomes a wolf/ You look for softness/ And find bared teeth.

Hello!

Hello everyone! My name is Siobhan, I’m a recent psychology graduate, and a self-taught artist. Art has been a hobby and an outlet for me for many years, but recently I started to think of it as something more. Creating art has allowed me to find a like-minded community, a wonderful support system, and continues to be a great source of joy and relaxation. More than that, in recent months, I’ve started to see creating art as a way of creating the representation that I have been craving. As a child, I didn’t see my culture or heritage celebrated in mainstream media or, as I grew up, on social media. What happens when there is a dearth of representation in popular culture? You create it yourself! As such, I focus on creating dest-inspired pieces informed by and as a celebration of where I come from. I have also begun to sell prints of my work and to offer commissions, so if anything catches your eye, do get in touch!

“And just on one personal note, may I just say that while I am here with my husband as a member of The Royal Family, I want you to know that for me I am here with you as a mother, as a wife, as a woman, as a woman of colour and as your sister. I am here with you and I am here FOR you and I thank you so much for showing my husband and I the spirit of Ubuntu and I look forward to our time over the next few days together.” 👏❤️

I felt incredibly inspired by The Duke and Duchess of Sussex today. Powerful and beautiful speeches
