Background

About Miriam Amankwa

Amidst my creative background, I have a diverse array of talents: I draw, I paint, I write poetry and perform spoken word, I sing and I photograph. Initially, I was stuck with what to pursue in life so I thought on feedback that I received from my classmates at college whilst doing my foundation diploma and took a chance. From taking the risk to switch courses from Fashion Graphics to Illustration, I had found a course that brought out the best of the skills I already had and built my propensity as a practising illustrator. Upon completing my degree at Solent University, I built professional printing techniques that I could take forward into my professional artist practice such as screen printing and bookbinding. Also, being selected for an artist in Residency outside of Europe gave me the opportunity and confidence to not only communicate with other fellow creatives from different nations but also immerse myself in the culture, sights and lifestyle of Shanghai, China. This international opportunity provided me with the chance to grow within myself - both as a young woman and as a creative professional and I would be open to partaking in more artist residences to enable me to grow as a professional illustrator and artist. Currently, I am looking for full-time roles within the field of Illustration and Graphic Design to help aid and kickstart my journey within as a creative in addition to freelance illustration and photography opportunities as well.
