I'm a London-based artist - painter, illustrator, printmaker, writer and collector of the everyday. I work collaboratively with, as well as for, communities to help tell their stories, and as a facilitator supporting others in their own creative practice.

My process combines drawing, printmaking and collage, working with anything from house paint to ink and spray paints - using found tools from forks to toothbrushes. I often stand to paint on the floor or walls, using movement as part of the process, much like a dancer, travelling back and forth across the paper.

I'm drawn to in-between spaces and the unexpected beauty in ordinary things. I want to make work that helps me make sense of the world - to enable others to do the same.

Previous clients include the V&A Museum, Waterstones, food poverty charity The Felix Project and Orion Books. My book cover for André Alexis' Fifteen Dogs, published by Profile Books, was nominated for the V&A Illustration Awards.

I have a background in mental health, the criminal justice system, homelessness, education and community programming - experience that continues to inform my creative practice.
