"Mother" Collage

I am an artist, illustrator and printmaker whose practice explores the relationship between memory, imagery and visual imagination.

Working primarily with handmade collage and mixed media, I combine fragments of vintage photographs, archival imagery, drawing, painting and intricate geometric patterns to create layered, surreal compositions.

Fascinated by the visual language of old photographs and the stories they seem to hold, I reinterpret fragments of the past through an experimental process of cutting, rearranging and reconstructing images. Familiar figures and forgotten moments become unexpected visual narratives, where nostalgia meets abstraction and structure meets spontaneity.

My work balances carefully constructed patterns with playful experimentation, creating imaginative worlds that invite viewers to discover their own associations and interpretations.

With a background in printmaking and graphic design, I bring together a sensitivity to composition, texture and detail with a curiosity for unconventional visual relationships. I enjoy exploring the possibilities of combining different materials and visual languages, allowing each work to develop through an intuitive and exploratory process.

Alongside my collage work, I paint expressive abstract pieces in acrylic and ink. Here, spontaneity takes over: dripped and splattered layers are overlaid with fine hand-drawn patterns, fish, vines and hidden figures that emerge slowly as you look closer. They are the improvised counterpart to my structured collages, exploring the same themes of memory and hidden worlds.
