I am an artist living and working in the UK. My work is led by chance encounters with the everyday, situating objects, material transformations and interventions in a place that merges art and reality. Responding intuitively to what I find around me I explore the idiosyncrasies of daily life through processes of accumulation and an impulse towards order.
My work often captures a specific moment, dictated through a particular coming together of elements and atmospheric conditions. Other times, it gestates - unfolding and revealing itself over a longer period, operating through activities of ritualistic gathering and systematic recording. I engage with the animate and the inanimate to contemplate our coexistence with non-human entities.
Resisting confinement to a single medium, I prefer to move freely between sculpture, drawing, installation, performative actions and photography. I like to think of my works as subtle disrupters, existing where they want to exist.
Attuned to the temporary, my aim is to transform the everyday into the playful and the poetic, reflecting upon the fleeting nature of our existence and looking beyond the human-centric perspective.

BIOGRAPHY
I am currently studying an MA in Fine Art at City & Guilds of London Art school.
In 2013 I graduated from the University of the Creative Arts (UCA) with a BA (Hons) in Fine Art. After my degree show I was one of seven artists selected for the Platform Graduate Showcase exhibition at Turner Contemporary in Margate. In 2019 I was one of three artists awarded The London Group’s President’s Prize of an exhibition at The Cello Factory in London.
I am a co-founder and member of Filaments Art Collective, a group of five artists based in Kent. We curate an annual light show in the historic St Mary’s church at Burham (near Rochester) and have been awarded several commissions.
