Her research interests are digital portraiture, exploring fluid gender identities. My artwork explores fluid gender identity. Since completing my Masters in Digital Art, I have created various forms of digital art from prints to interactive installations. Living in a progressive city has given me the inspiration and the platform to explore the way I visually express myself. I create playful digital illustrations that I use in my performance to construct my digital identity. My current work involves self-portraits, which were taken over the last six years of my life. I created various personas, which explore being a 80s pin up to a drag king. This exhibition showcases these framed edition artworks. Since completing my Masters in Digital Art, I have created various forms of digital art from prints to interactive installations.
