This weekend I had the pleasure of running a stall at the Better Briggs art fair! A big thank you to everyone involved, here’s a selection of a few of the pieces I sold!
A recent commission of cigarette earrings!! Made from pencils and paint! If anyone would like to purchase a pair they’re £7 + shipping costs! Dm me if you’re interested!

A7- young people can learn from the older generation in many way, not just their successes, but their mistakes too. A fresh look on past issues that pervious generations failed to solve can motivate young people to find a new and affective solution. #boostyouth#IYD2022
A4- I’d say persistence is key for such an issue. Don’t let being told that you’re “too young to make a difference” deter you from doing it. If you stay at it, you can change the world for the better. #boostyouth#IYD2022#dianaaward
Q4: @KathiaS8 from Nicaragua asks "What advice do you have for young people facing age related barriers and ageism when trying to make a difference?"
#boostyouth#IYD2022
A2- organisations need to learn to take young people seriously. They can look at all the change young people are capable of and how much motivation an influence they can hold, and how they deserve to be treated as partners and equals. #boostyouth#IYD2022#dianaaward
Q2: Clement from Cameroon asks "What can be done to shift the mindset of many organisations to see young people as partners in development, as opposed to beneficiaries alone?"
#boostyouth#IYD2022
A1- Youth led organisations are so important in today’s current climate as young people can provide a completely new and fresh insight to the issues being faced in today’s society, and can decide on what will be if it their generation going forward! #boostyouth#IYD2022
Q1: To kick off our panel @DipikaBadal from Nepal asks "Why are young people and youth led organisations so important to achieving sustainable development?"
#boostyouth#IYD2022
#youngLeaders continue to face barriers and ageism. I will join changemakers and experts from around the 🌍 LIVE on #IYD2022 to explore solutions to this issue.
12 August | 12:00-13:00 GMT
Questions will be posted on @WeAreGCM & I will share my insights using #boostyouth
Hi all! As some of you may know I’m trying to get back into doing more art regularly. So here is a few of my favourite pages from my current sketchbook! These were all pieces done during my time at Alma college!

It’s Tourette’s Awareness day! Thank you to @tourettescot for all the support they’ve given over the years. Today I got my first tattoo, which I designed! Origami has been such a meaningful part of my life for so long, being the first ways I used to handle my Tourette Syndrome!
Hi all!! Now that I have finally finished and passed my third year of Art School, I thought I should let everyone know that I have a secondary account!! @photo_macph is my new Photography page where I will be posting exclusively photography content, so please give me a follow!
Had a fantastic time teaching origami to the kids in-person for the first time since the pandemic yesterday at the @tourettescot Lothian open day! A great day ending with a raffle and a Nerf War run by Sarah on behalf of @FoamDartThunder!
