About me
I am an artist, writer and curator living and working in Somerset. I graduated in Fine Art from Central Saint Martins, UAL in 2022. My practice is concerned with feminism, grief and environmentalism. I have exhibited and performed across the UK including London, Exeter and Bristol. I am looking for artist residencies, curation and commission work.

Through the gap between branches or a pigsty nestled amongst trees; these spaces become portals of infinite possibilities. By soaking my canvas in soil I physically and spiritually connect the work to the place in which it was first conceived. I also presented a creative text - The Branch, The Penny, and The Sky - looking at themes
