Upfest has worked on multiple place making initiatives including the Bristol Hearts, In collaboration with We Are Plaster, Bristol Business Improvement District and Visit Bristol we designed and painted 374 socially distanced giant hearts across 3 sites in Bristol city centre for the #BristolTogether campaign. These hearts were to encourage and promote the safe reopening of our city after the lockdown of 2020.
We can work with you on your artistic project in a number of different ways - from concept and creative planning through to delivery - to create artworks that bring your vision to life and have the kind of impact you’re looking for.

She graduated from Dasein Art Academy in her hometown and was presented with the Outstanding Achievement Award in Fine Arts. She is part of a female street artists art collective called WOM Collective in London, United Kingdom.
She paints in brushes and rollers in semi realism expressionist style, mainly choosing female figurative with symbolism as her subject. She creates introspective and touching works often drawing inspiration from her personal life and relationships. She explores themes of life and suffering, implementing three dimensional elements into some of her emotional murals which expand the impact of her artwork into the real-world.
