My art practice is a response to human behaviour and examines the unquestioning acceptance of social expectations and the boundaries of unspoken taboos.

Working in 2D and 3D I create sculptures, installations and paintings. The 3D work often comprises collections of the familiar, repurposed into sculptural forms.  Dark humour hovers beneath playful titles which informs my intentions and offers a pathway to interpretation.

Graduating in 2024 with a BA (Hons) in Fine Art from the independent London art school,  Art Academy, I hold the Critic’s Choice Award from the Summer Exhibition, Crawley and am now exhibiting my works publicly. Exhibitions include
