I am a UK-based artist working primarily with mixed media, acrylics, and pastels. My practice is driven by experimentation with layered materials, colour, texture, and process, allowing each piece to evolve through discovery and play.

I am particularly interested in reimagining historical narratives and traditional stories through a contemporary feminist lens. By combining vibrant colour palettes with rich, layered surfaces, I seek to uncover new perspectives and challenge familiar interpretations.

Through my art, I aim to create connections between past and present, inviting viewers to engage with stories in fresh and unexpected ways.
