“I make drawings and paintings that explore the fleeting and fragmented nature of experience — I work from memory, emotion and instinct to explore what it feels like to live in a body shaped by both joy and fear, power and vulnerability.”

Creative Direction 2025
2025 has seen a pivotal shift in my creative direction and the way I make my work.

Please see the Journal section for more details on The Shift and make sure you’re signed up to my newsletter to follow my progress.
