about

I am an artist working with colour and gesture, predominantly through the media of abstract painting, digital photography and image manipulation software.

I also accept commissions and commercial work.

I compose my pieces as visual colour-poems.

I create atmospheric visuals, influenced by history, folk legends, fairy tales and childhood memories. Combining my fine art practice and fashion background,

I have cultivated an aesthetic of symbolism, personal mythologies and stylised realism in synthetic, saccharine colour palettes.

In 2015, I obtained a Masters in Fine Art from University of Brighton.

I am currently based in Brighton UK.
