Bio

Spirit Doll is an artist, model and performer based in the UK. His work takes many forms including self portraits, performance, drawing, sculpture and character creation in his own unique and distinct style that is born from his own lived experience, aesthetics and influences.

Spirit Doll seeks to create art that pushes boundaries, expands his growth and to invite others into his world. His work is a reflection for others to question their own limiting self’s and to be that guiding light of expansion.

His visual practice is continually growing and being shaped in many kinds of ways, in the various forms it takes including his collaborations and new skills that he learns. He is particularly influenced by his journey through pole dance, burlesque and drag.

He is currently part of artist duo Mastolf & Mastej, running the Others’ Market, attending Hastings Art School and modelling/performing for other artists/collabs alongside his own vast creative practices.
