I am a multimedia artist, working mainly in painting, ceramics and textiles. My work is concerned with natural and bodily forms, ranging from figuration to biomorphic abstraction. My process is very intuitive, combining imagery and materials until they feel ‘right’. Sensuality and texture are very important to me; I revel in the qualities, colours and sensations of the body and the natural world, celebrating life in all its forms. I believe my long-term experience working in ceramics has imbued my work with a strong sense of the sculptural, more concerned with simplicity and form than fine detail.
I graduated from Camberwell College of Arts in 2023 and now work between London and Suffolk. I am involved with the Easterly Artists and Young Suffolk Artists (YAIS).
I started my BA in Painting, evolving my practice into exploring and applying textiles in a ‘painterly way’ in pursuit of texture and materiality.
I work with a wide range of different mediums within my practice, having a multifaceted education in the arts. This was possible because I was home-educated and allowed a lot of freedom to pursue my interests and to largely dictate my own education. In my work I draw inspiration from my other interests in Greek mythology, fairy tales, Lacanian philosophy, Foucault and artists such as Kathe Kollwitz, Michael Armitage and Peter Doig etc.
I have practised life-drawing and observational drawing from a young age, participating in weekly classes at The Royal Drawing School, where I developed a strong sense of anatomy and a passion for portraying the human form prior to my art degree.
Throughout my teens and early 20s I attended arts courses with The Creative Dimension Trust, fostering high quality traditional arts and crafts. I have also worked with clay for as long as I have been drawing and painting, attending pottery classes at The Hackney City Farm throughout my childhood, as well as doing work experience there and working alongside a renowned London-based potter, Mandee Gage as a teenager, learning to sculpt clay in an apprentice-like environment.
During university I exhibited in various galleries and engaged in artistic projects including exhibiting at Avalon cafe, APT Gallery and Southwark Park Galleries as well as taking part in the Helen Frankenthaler project with the Dulwich picture Gallery Lates and featuring my artwork in a film by a student at The National Film and Television School.
After leaving university I moved back home to Suffolk where I joined Easterly Artists and YAIS,
exhibiting and taking part in projects here including contributing artwork to YAIS’ ‘homegrown’ zine, exhibiting at Lowestoft’s ‘First Light Festival’, at Ferini Gallery, The Mayfly cafe and Battery of Ideas as well as at The Bank Eye Gallery (Eye), The Shoe Factory (Norwich) and Holton Lodge Gallery (Halesworth) as part of the Harleston and Waveney art trail.
I returned to London last year to live on a narrowboat and now spend my time between studios in London and East Anglia, exhibiting twice at 54 the Gallery and creating artworks and props as part of a retelling of The Grimm’s fairytale ‘The Juniper Tree’ set to be performed in Jamboree (Kings Cross) in February 2026.
