About me

About me ❀

Abigail Lythgoe is a Working-class Bolton Lass based in Greater Manchester, UK. She is currently studying her MA in Illustration at Manchester School of Art and has a BA (Hons) Degree in Acting.

Primarily, her mediums are ink Drawings and Silk-screening. But Abigail loves to venture out into other art forms such as Film, Risograph, and Writing. In the future, she is aiming to begin a Snail Mail Club, which is a monthly subscription selling a letter, art print and sticker.

For her Final Major Project, Abigail is researching Imposter Syndrome and Creative Paralysis and exploring the hypothesis of how the Art of Slowing Down, consuming less and creating more might be the answer. She is using TikTok as a platform for this exploration and releases a weekly video presenting her findings with the hope that it can help other people overcome the same problem.

Abigail is also currently co-writing a play and will be applying for funding later this year.
