My passion for art began with my love of performance and I feel very lucky to have grown up in London where access to inspiration and new ideas has been so readily available. Moving to Bristol for my degree in Theatre and English Literature exposed me to more immediate forms of experimental performance and art which has permanently broadened my appetite. Since returning home, I am searching to develop my skills as a writer and producer and excited to find my place amongst this ever-evolving industry.

Rim is an aspiring artist and writer living in London. She studied at the University of Reading, graduating with a bachelor degree in fine art and creative writing. Her writing consists of short stories, as well as poetry. Her poems explore the construction of female identity, taking inspiration from her own experiences as well as the women that surround her. Within her art, she primarily uses acrylic paint, colouring pencils, as well as oil and soft pastels. Much like her writing, the discussion of gender seeps into her work, with her degree show focusing on the ways in which capitalism sees women as profitable through femininity as a consumer tactic.
