I live in London. I work as a multimedia artist, across a broad spectrum of media. I hold solo, group shows and collaborative projects.

I have an MA in Illustration from the Royal College of Art, London.

My practice encompasses drawing, printmaking, painting and publications. My current project 'She's Had A Fall', an exploration of the act of falling, the moments between leaving one surface and landing on another and the chaos that ensues. These are large-scale graphite and pastel drawings. As part of my practice, I work in portraiture, made to commission, from photographs supplied by the client. I have developed a unique style, after working on hundreds of portraits. I also work teaching and producing series of portraits of particular groups of often vulnerable people, projected as a social and public artworks.

I am working on an ongoing series of digital collages entitled The Invisible Woman. using found photographs and self-portraits.These images highlight the overlooked, the unseen, the under represented and unheard.

I also work with a publisher making limited edition artists books, addressing the same subject. These include The Rise and Falls of The Invisible Woman, The Dog Said Nothing and The Phallen Stars.

I work in series of images that form friezes, or on individual images that address a common topic.

I have work in private and public collections
