Megan Russell is brightening up some of the city's streets with her creations.
An artist behind a series of colourful new street murals in Sheffield says her work allows her to "leave a little bit of you where you live".
But she said it was not always plain sailing and she almost turned her back on her passion for spray paint. Instead, she practised on legal walls and boards until she realised she had a particular fondness for painting wildlife, nature and portraits.Among her work is an enormous image of a brightly coloured parrot and the slogan "forge your path", emblazoned across the side of a four-storey building in London Road, which was commissioned by payment platform Rapyd.
While Banksy may have turned street art into a collectable artform, with his works regularly selling for millions of pounds, for many artists their work is highly unlikely to be seen in a gallery or auction house."The beauty of street art, and what you take away, is that it can be here today, gone tomorrow, which is what makes it so special," she said.As for how her work has been received in Sheffield, she said the feedback had been largely positive.
