I am an artist working with line and form, across themes of abstraction, architecture and nature. Influenced by memory, everyday beauty and visions of space, time and place. 

I explore these through the connections of pen, line and material with a presence of absence; the emphasis as much on the emptiness, as the mark making.

My practice is informed by my Neuro-diverse conditions, as a result of a catastrophic brain haemorrhage and stroke in 2014, coupled with my 16 year career as an International Branding Designer.  

The brain haemorrhage has shaped me but not defined me. It’s been an intense and traumatic seven years and as a result I am paralysed on my right side, suffering from Aphasia which impacts my speech. Reading and writing is a challenge too, and my sight is impaired. But to draw is medicine. And thankfully I have always been left handed.

I am currently supported in access through my practice by my collaborator and partner in love and life, Syreeta Challinger.
