About Me

My practice centres on expressive, abstract work exploring emotion, identity and neurodivergent experience. Using colour, texture and intuitive mark-making, I create pieces that give form to feelings and inner states that are often difficult to articulate.

Influenced by both my professional work in SEND education and lived experience as a parent, my work reflects an interest in difference, perception and the ways individuals experience and interpret the world. Art functions as a process of reflection and sense-making, offering space for connection, understanding and pause.

I work experimentally across materials and value creative environments that support dialogue, shared practice and ongoing exploration.
