I return repeatedly to the sensuality and vitality of living things; drawn to the porous relationship between body, memory and place, where growth, decay, desire and renewal become part of the same continuous cycle. Human, animal and plant forms flow into one another, exploring co-dwelling, transformation and the ways we are woven into the living world.

 

I hold a practice-based PhD in the arts and spent more than twenty years working in curatorial practice, arts leadership and higher education before returning to my own studio practice. I studied at the University of Brighton and am an alumna of the Royal Drawing School (2023).

 

My work has been exhibited nationally, including the Trinity Buoy Wharf Drawing Prize (2024–25), and internationally in Italy. Alongside my studio practice, I teach drawing at all levels, founded dRAWing Space, and have published writing on contemporary art and drawing.

 

Based in Devon, UK, I welcome commissions, exhibitions and collaborative opportunities.
