My work is site and subject responsive and I use contextual materials to illustrate meaning. Working from my farm on the Dorset coast, trace and memory are central to my practice. Where I capture and translate the transient qualities of my often ecologically sensitive subject matter into both ephemeral and tangible works.

Over the last 3 years my practice has evolved into making site responsive installation work. My final MA graduation work 'Lost - A journey through the fragile mind' was filmed and shown at exhibition through the hanging pieces of the original installation. (See photos attached titled: 'Lost - A journey through the fragile mind')

My earliest influences stretch back to when I was just 3 years old and fascinated with the colour and feel of fabric, influenced by my mother who fitted dressmaking in around raising her large family. By 18 I briefly had a small fashion design business in Ireland. Later, moving to London, I studied Millinery design alongside Jewellery Design and Fashion Illustration. This year I celebrate my 3rd year of acceptance into the International Contemporary Artists Book. Some of my work hangs in private collections in the UK,...

June 2019, I completed my 3 year MA in Fine Art. Previously I trained in Millinery design with modules in Life Drawing, Fashion Illustration and Jewellery Design at Kensington and Chelsea college. I've also completed short courses in Sculpture, and Photography.
