Becki Kremer Exhibition

London born multi- disciplinary visual artist and digital illustrator Becki Kremer who now lives in Stoke will showcase her work within our campus cafe.  Becki’s work is heavily inspired by bold prints, floral patterns, her Caribbean heritage, eyecatching cartoons, and anything kitsch. Becki particularly enjoys loud colour combinations, and is always looking to work with as many varied mediums. Aside from illustration, Becki also regularly works on textile projects, large-scale hand painted murals, and running art workshops with some of the talented arts organisations locally.

Exhibition will run from 23 September - 1 November 2021
