I am a London-based artist and designer. I studied graphic design and have worked freelance in the design industry throughout my career. My practice spans painting, collage, photography, assemblage and gilding, and I also work collaboratively as part of Collectivizm, a creative partnership founded in 2014.

​I make work out of curiosity and the simple enjoyment of making. I normally begin by testing a concept, letting it shift as I work. The final work carries the traces of that process, the additions and subtractions that shaped it.

My practice explores memory, materiality and change. I’m interested in how memory is not fixed but shifts with time, and how materials themselves carry traces, histories and imperfections.

I don’t restrict myself to a single medium. I let the idea determine the form, whether that means paint, collage or assemblage. At the moment I am absorbed in the luminous, fragile qualities of gilding combined with the density of oil paint, though I expect this will evolve again.
​
Process is central to my work. An idea rarely arrives fully formed. It grows through trial and adjustment until something feels right — a balance between concept and material presence. Each piece holds something of that journey, both deliberate and accidental, which I hope the viewer can sense in the finished work.

2023–2024  - Music box No.1

This was my most ambitious project to date: a combination of shrine and memory box. It reflects a time when buying a vinyl album was a magical ritual — the anticipation of the first play, and how those moments, at a certain age, remain within our memory.
​
The work centres on Close to the Edge by YES, an album that for me captured that sense of discovery and wonder. The piece brings together image, object and light to create a space where memory, music and ritual overlap.

​This work was first shown at Candid Arts, London, 2024

2020–2021 - The plague doctor 

Made during the Covid lockdowns, this piece grew out of time spent at home with work on pause and comfort food close at hand. The form of the plague doctor’s mask — a symbol of past pandemics — became a way to process the surreal overlap of fear, monotony in those months.
​
The surface is covered in the patterned foil from countless teacakes, turning a symbol of protection into something fragile and playful. It speaks to how we coped: with rituals of comfort, repetition, and making do with what was at hand.

2020 - Astronauts
"Early astronauts so long ago had morning a glimpse"

This work brings together two of my black and white photographs, printed on metallic paper, with text cut from a newspaper. Following the DADA tradition, the words were chosen at random, creating a fragment that hovers between sense and nonsense.
​
The combination of image, material and text reflects my interest in memory, surface and chance — how meaning can emerge unexpectedly when elements are rearranged and re-seen.
