About
I’m a London-based artist and facilitator with a focus on projects relating to arts and health, sustainability, and urban nature.
Mundane greys and magnolia house paint contrast with vibrant inks and fluorescent spray paints. I mix paint, printmaking and collage – employing a whole range of tools from forks to toothbrushes. I stand to paint on the floor and walls, enabling greater energy and movement; becoming like a dance, darting back and forth to the paper.
Previous illustration 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 run workshops in a variety of education and healthcare settings, ranging from pre-schoolers to adults in end-of-life care, children with SEND and mental health difficulties to city workers in need of an antidote. I’ve taught adults and teenagers at Central Saint Martins, University of the Arts, mentor ex-prisoners with Koestler Arts and create educational content for the Access Art curriculum.
In both my own practice and teaching, I’m curious about the process of creating; exploring ways to paint intuitively and allowing mistakes to become a valued part of the final piece.
