Biography

Thank you for being here and deciding to find out more about me/my work ♡

I’m an emotional and versatile artist who enjoys exploring different artistic mediums including printmaking, film-making, painting etc. My artistic journey is informed by a deep love of experimentation and a desire to push boundaries.

Through my artistic practice, I find immense gratification in delving into the inner world I feel and experience. Through my work I embark on a transformative process, transmuting these feelings into visually striking collages that serve as a powerful means of self-expression. By responding to my environment with vulnerability and authenticity, I create art that resonates deeply with the viewer, inviting them to embark on their own journey of introspection and self-discovery. I’m inspired by the world around me, finding beauty in the everyday and transforming it into artwork. I weave compelling visual narratives that evoke emotion and engage the senses with a keen eye for detail and composition, and a thoughtful use of colour and texture.
