Artist Bio
Indy is a self-taught artist from Nottingham, UK. Growing up in the Nottinghamshire countryside and exploring the folklore of the land, including the infamous Robin Hood, led to a love of British wildlife and ancient folklore.
.
The birth of her first child sparked a love and awe for feminine power and periods of deep introspection have led to intertwining these passions into her art.
.
Navigating difficult family and romantic relationships in her youth encouraged her need for solitude and deep thought, allowing Indy to reconnect to herself, nature and ancestral beliefs and explore the meanings of these through her art and how she could encourage others to live an enchanted life.
