About

Octavia Inns (b.1999) is an artist based in Derbyshire working primarily with drawing, painting and printmaking. Her work weaves together observations of the everyday with elements of memory and imagination. These observations and recollections sit alongside figurative elements and presences to visualise the feelings of being in a particular space at a particular time. She graduated from BA Illustration with Animation at Manchester School of Art in 2022, and is currently studying on The Drawing Year at the Royal Drawing School.
