My creative journey began in abstract painting, in the exploration of colour and bold mark-making. The physicalitity of how I create - making strong marks and impulsive moevements - is an important part of my process, working on the floor as much as on the walls. And the breadth of materials I use in my work has come to be central to my practice - from paint to collage, to using textiles and found objects, to painting on canvas or recalaimed maps.

​

My original training is in Classical Civilisisation, in the worlds of Ancient Greece and Rome. The themes of mythology, divine, goddesses, folktales, and all things witchy are strongly emerging in my most recent works. As my confidence as an artist, and as a female creative, builds, so too does my clarity in the work I want to create.

 

My current work explores the figurative abstract, the ideal of women's bodies, the goddess and divine female, neolithic Venus figurines, connection and identity, the physicality of our relationship with our sense of self and our bodies. My journey with this newest work is best found via my Instagram. 

​

​My last two collections of work explore the emotions around a sense of belonging to a place and a personal investigation into the evolution of my identity as an artist.

​​

I continue to be drawn to the drama of colour combinations and intentional use of mark making as part of my process. ​

​​

As a self-taught, emerging artist, I was selected for the 2022 New Platform Art programme cohort through Parker Harris, curated by artist Rebecca Byrne, and mentored by artist Neil Musson. I was chosen for the I LIKE NETWORKING 2022 mentoring programme, a platform for women and non-binary people in the creative sectors, focused on creating a more equitable and inclusive arts and cultural sector.

​​

I am an Associate of OVADA, an experimental visual arts space in Oxford, and a Matron Saint artist with Mothers Who Make, an international movement for women and non-binary people who care about creating and create while caring.
