About

I'm a London-based artist working across ceramics, drawing and painting. My practice explores how objects and materials hold memory across time, connecting us to mortality through touch and making.

I studied sculpture (BA Fine Art) and worked in arts management with performance and live artists for 10 years before transitioning to bronze patination. Over a decade of metal patination work has taught me how materials transform and carry memory through direct hand work - these alchemical processes of watching metals change through fire and chemistry inform my current approach to working physically with materials.

Becoming a parent in 2016 led me to reflect deeply on mortality and family history. Wanting to model creative courage to my daughter, I began developing my own art practice seriously when she started school in 2020.

My investigations into mortality led me to train with End of Life Doula UK and co-host Death and Grief Cafes. I'm particularly interested in how hands-on creative activities can help process emotions when words feel insufficient - this informs my practice as I create objects that hold space for contemplation and transformation.

Based in Walthamstow, I'm a member of Cultivate Artists Studios. My work bridges craft and contemporary art, creating pieces that invite intimate physical relationships with memory and loss.

I accept commissions for memorial and contemplative pieces.
