	Hi, I’m Cerys! Most people don’t know how to pronounce my name, so here’s some help… ke-ris. I’m a 21-year-old student from Coventry University, studying ‘Fine Art & Illustration’. So about me? What would you like to know?? Well… I have a huge passion for art and design. It’s what I’m best at and where my skills lie. I am the creative one in my family - that’s me! I’ve always had people telling me that ‘art isn’t a subject, it’s just a hobby’ and that ‘art won’t get you a job, there’s no future with it’. But I am going to prove them wrong and my Kick-Starter project will help me achieve that and get it out into the real world. One aspect I love about being in the creative industry and designing art, is the satisfying feelings of seeing the outcome of what I’ve created and come up with - it’s somewhat therapeutic. Whilst at university, I’ve also had the chance to feature my work in ‘The Fold Exhibition’ at the Stryx Gallery, Birmingham. This was such a good experience, having people view my work in an actual exhibition environment. When thinking about my interests within art and design, I would usually say I’m best at acrylic painting, watercolours and sculpture, but ever since being at university, I’ve had the opportunity to use Adobe suite’s and my iPad Pro. These both gave me the illustrative freedom of digital drawing. I suppose I like a few different things within the art industry. Playing piano, guitar, ukulele, singing, photography and exploring places are things I enjoy doing in my spare time. I like to keep myself busy and productive!
