My practice explores the relationship between the tangible and the unseen, tracing the forces that quietly shape everyday life and the human condition. I am drawn to ordinary objects as material archives—vessels of lived experience that carry the often-overlooked narratives of those who fall through the gaps of social and institutional structures.
In my ceramic work, clay functions as both witness and recorder. Through its density and fragility, it absorbs traces of pressure, labour, resilience, and care, becoming a repository of personal and collective histories. Whether through clay slabs marked by domestic gestures or sculptural forms that suggest social weight, I investigate how materials can embody and communicate lived experience, making visible the forces that shape daily life.
Alongside ceramics, I work as a watercolour painter, exploring the relationship between people and urban space. My paintings capture quiet moments of everyday life, observing human presence within the built environment through light, atmosphere, and fleeting encounters.
Across both practices, I seek to reveal the overlooked narratives embedded within objects, places, and everyday experiences.
My work has been exhibited at major venues, including the Royal Academy of Arts, the National Open Art Exhibition, the Society of Women Artists Annual Open Exhibition, and the Royal Institute of Painters in Water Colours. In 2019, The City You and I Live In 2A was awarded the Frank Herring Easel Award.
I graduated from the University of Roehampton with a First-Class Honours BA in Art in Public Space in 2006. In 2025, I was awarded a scholarship to undertake an MA in Ceramics & Glass at the Royal College of Art.
