About
I trace how objects hold and transfer memories across time. My practice explores the tangible presence of absence through sculpture, ceramics, drawings and digital processes. I approach materials intuitively, often working with eyes closed to heighten focus on touch.
With over a decade of experience in metal patination, I've developed a deep understanding of how materials transform and carry memory. My work investigates how objects hold space for remembrance, particularly through memorial vessels and explorations with wild clay.
My diverse background spans arts management, research, play therapy and life coaching - experiences that inform my interest in creating meaningful connections through art. This path led me to train as a death companion in 2023, deepening my engagement with how art can open conversations about mortality.
I hold a BA in Fine Art from Norwich University of the Arts (2001) and an MRes from The London Consortium (2007).
