A bit of information about me

I’m a Lewes-based mixed media artist and designer. I create layered abstract artwork combining collage with painting and mark making.

 

My art, like life, is about finding an equilibrium between freedom and order, chaos and calm. My approach is intuitive and playful using a variety of materials including hand painted papers, ephemera, and acrylic paint.

​

Recent work

My work is a result of my interest in merging of collage and painting. I'm currently exploring liminal states - being between two different internal places: known and unknown, belonging and feeling adrift, waking and sleeping. Each artwork is a small acknowledgement of the process at play in my inner world, some part of me looking to be revealed.

​

I started my career as a graphic designer, graduating with a BA(hons) Degree. I worked for many years in the UK Design and Publishing industry including at the V&A Museum, London and The Design Council, London, and freelancing in book and magazine design.

​

In the past I've volunteered with community art events: including mosaic art projects, and also at a local hospice, facilitating art and craft workshops for public and patients.

 

I exhibit my mosaics and mixed media work annually in Lewes Artwave Festival, and I also teach workshops occasionally.
