About me

Hi, I’m Liv, a 25 year-old artist from Manchester. While I graduated with a degree in Journalism and Public Relations in 2022, my heart has always been in art. In fact, I had the best time studying art in sixth form, and it sparked a passion that’s only grown stronger over the years.

Although I’ve worked in social media and corporate roles, I’ve realised that my true passion lies in creating art and connecting with people through it. I love experimenting with different mediums and styles, no two pieces of mine are ever the same. I don’t limit myself to one subject; each painting is an exploration of my creativity.

I firmly believe that creativity is a form of self-care. I think everyone could benefit from tapping into their own artistic side, whether it's through painting or any other creative outlet. The joy of seeing others enjoy my work, whether they’re admiring it online or bringing it into their homes, is incredibly fulfilling.

One of my dreams is to one day have my own studio where I can host painting workshops for artists of all levels. I want to create a space where creativity can thrive and where others can experience the same joy that art brings me.

I owe so much of my creative journey to my Mum and Grandma, who have always pushed me to believe in myself and pursue my artistic passions. In fact, my Grandma still keeps my very first paintbrushes on her windowsill, a reminder of where it all began.
