About

Image by Laura Martinez

I'm a London-based artist working with clay, drawing, and painting.

I studied sculpture (BA Fine Art) and worked with performance and live artists for ten years before spending a decade in bronze patination. These years of working with my hands - watching metals transform through fire and chemistry - taught me how materials carry memory. I'm interested in how making with hands can hold what words cannot.

Becoming a parent in 2016 was a catalyst that brought mortality and intergenerational patterns into sharp focus. I began developing my art practice seriously in 2020 and completed a foundation course with End of Life Doula UK and co-host Death and Grief Cafes.

Based in Walthamstow, I work from Cultivate Artists Studios - an artist-led space for clay practitioners working with foraged materials and experimental glazes.

I accept commissions for memorial and contemplative pieces. Contact me to discuss your project.

Metaphor isn't maths.

It's not saying "this" = "this" as another way to describe the same thing.

It's truer, more vivid, more tangible. The metaphor IS the feeling.

This also works in reverse - materials feel emotional. Forms affect physically. Art feels spiritual.

Metaphor sings in the space of imagination just as much as in the physical world.

Seeing and not-seeing. Touch and memory. Making as processing.
