Lilly Kavanagh
I am a young emerging artist hoping to go into either character design for film, or storyboarding. I have always been interested in the darker aspects of life and the unrealistic themes of both horror and children’s films – I take inspiration from both. I am also deeply inspired by creators such as Tim Burton and adore the eerie feel to his works. I hope my coloured art will shock people, or make them wonder who is behind it at least.

My name’s Milly and I’ve been exposed to art since a very young age. Growing up, I’ve been shown and taught different mediums and techniques to the point where I’ve developed my own style, and I’m always happy to continue to learn new things. I wouldn’t be at the point I am now without the endless support and motivation from my family, which I am forever grateful for.

I got into art in GCSE years, and there sprung the relationship with me and artwork. Like music and playing/singing, it really let me express how I felt and how things/people made me feel and they both clashed, artwork and music. This programme has given me so many opportunities to express myself and let my imagination run free!! And a big thank you to my Grandad, as if it wasn’t for music education I wouldn’t have the outlook on the world and art pieces I have today.
