I create my work on a large scale, directly onto the canvas, using acrylics and mixed media applied solely with my hands. By layering colours and metallics, my paintings evolve as you move around them, playing with light and texture.
My intention is to craft visuals that captivate you, prompting you to pause and reflect on your own life. These works aim to spark conversations and ideas.
Each piece is inspired by sensory experiences—a conversation, a memory, a smell, or an image like a storm. These moments are imprinted on my mind and then translated onto the canvas, making each piece deeply personal and evocative.
After studying Art and Design at Central Saint Martins College of Art, I went on to have a successful career in fashion design, specialising in accessories, which continues to inspire my work.
