I’m an Irish freelance illustrator who combines astronomy, nature and solarpunk motifs to create vibrant sci-fi art filled with sparkling stars ✨. I work with both digital and traditional mediums from my home studio in Belfast and have been part of the convention scene since the 2010s, recently exhibiting full-time across the UK and Ireland. This is my first event in mainland Europe and I’m very excited. My love for illustration started when I was young, inspired by nights under the Milky Way, the natural beauty of Ireland, and the games and animations I grew up with like Kingdom Hearts, Portal and Abzû. I first got serious about art through DeviantArt and online art communities, later teaching myself more advanced skills through books, tutorials and lots of practice. Art completely encompasses my life and inspires me to always look for new ideas, and even after a decade of creating I feel like I am only just getting started.
