About me

An autodidact... 

I developed my passion for painting through my projects whilst studying at London College of Fashion, University of the Arts where I designed textiles and womenswear (specially in second year when I took a particular interest in print).


I am a keen writer (poetry in particular) and usually incorporate this in my paintings. I love the use of metaphors and often use symbolic elements to manifest my feelings and emotions throughout my work.

All of my paintings are originals and one of a kind (unless a limited edition has been released) signed on the back and up for sale. If you have any queries, please, do not hesitate to contact me: cvowallart@gmail.com


I hope you enjoy them!
