Ava Grace Blanks is a Sheffield-born Artist specialising in pen-based pointillism. Her intricate works explore themes tied to the modelling industry, beauty standards and societal expectations, based off her lived experience. She often uses metaphors like beauty marks to challenge conventional ideals. Through repetition and detail, she invites viewers to look closer, literally and metaphorically. Ava is set to graduate from Sheffield Hallam University in 2025, before starting her PGCE this summer.
