I am an East London based artist who works on large scale canvas pieces combining print and painting techniques. Having graduated from the RCA with an MA in Printmaking , traditional printmaking methods will always remain deep in my heart, however I very much enjoy the fluidity and instantaneousness hands on experience of painting. I am therefore very happy resting between both worlds to create the desired outcome. The work is vibrant, busy and energetic. The hope is that they bring an energy and optimism to the space they occupy, although the work by no means deals solely with joyful aspects of life.

Each piece still retains the freshness and spontaneity of a unique painting while incorporating the repetitive nature of print within each piece. I am about the everyday, its immediate and instantaneous beauty and the bigger social and sentimental feelings an everyday object or event can evoke. It is about noticing, enjoying and celebrating the mundane objects, social interactions and scenes of life that are relatable to and form the bulk of our existence, and therefore the important ones.
