’I weave together stories of landscapes, wild plant medicine and the forgotten feminine. Like a patchwork quilt of memories, dreams and observations, I stitch together stories that exist in multiple layers on the one picture plane. I work intuitively, allowing unseen elements to guide me as I work’.
(b. 1983)

I was awarded a scholarship to study at the Royal Drawing School in London in 2006, where I now teach drawing and printmaking; courses that emphasise the cross over from observation into imagination.
I work as a freelance art tutor and have taught at many art institutions including the V&A, the Tate, and the Art Academy in London.
I have exhibited nationally and internationally, including at the Royal Academy of Arts, Buckingham Palace and Christie’s in New York. My work is held in many public and private collections.
From 2009-2011 I sat for a painting for the artist Lucian Freud, the last he completed before he died, in 2011.
