​​
Through repetition, multiples, and experimentation with materials, I aim to create textural and unexpected patterns that capture the essence of the thing I am creating. My work explores the similarities and differences between these patterns, using metaphor and cipher to convey meaning.
This intense and textural mark making is meant to catch the eye and hold it there, to take a closer look. Sometimes, it's through seduction, strangeness, curiosity, but other times, it's through discomfort.
​
I work in various mediums, depending on what speaks for the idea at a given time and place. Sometimes I use paint and canvas or fabrics, while other times I work with objects, mixed media, print and digital tools.
In my sculptures, I often use everyday objects that carry the memories from touch, 'the human stain' and my old or discarded works are consumed to create new ones.
​
My mixed media and prints, especially the digital manipulations, are also often created from previous works.
This transforms the old into the new, redeeming through this ttransformation process allows them to experience another way of being.
I focus on creating something that has both a visual and emotional impact on the viewer. It's not about creating art for the moment, but rather a hope to reach the right people who not only are drawn to what they see and who can truly appreciate the thought and intention behind my work.
​
For me, art is often about the process, not just the end result, a journey is sometimes more subtle and revealing than a destination.
I believe that this approach is what allows me to maintain my creative integrity and pursue art in the most authentic way for me.
I have been fortunate enough to show some of my work in a variety of locations and events, including many galleries and a 3 month window installation at SELFRIDGES of London.
​
During Covid lockdowns in 2021, I worked with Garrards of London making them 200 hand fans for their 'Fanfare Symphony' jewellery launch in 2022.​
​
Recently, I was happy to be a part of the Coastal Currents art event, where I showcased my latest series, the Abracadabra works. ​
