I’m a London-based artist-illustrator, educator and facilitator with a focus on projects relating to creative health, sustainability, urban nature and increased access to art in all forms.

My paintings explore the occurence of nature within urban spaces - the parts that thrive in the absence of tending, the uncultivated wildness from the street to the domestic sphere. 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. My process is filled with energy and movement as I stand to paint often on the floor and walls, 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. For several years I taught adults and teenagers at Central Saint Martins, University of the Arts. I create educational content for the Access Art curriculum in addition to mentoring ex-offenders for Koestler Arts.

In both my teaching and own practice, I focus on the process of creating; exploring ways to paint intuitively, allowing mistakes to become an integral part of a piece.
