About

Everything, everywhere, and all at once. Through movement to stillness, the norm to the supernatural, fear to ecstasy, I am fascinated by the dual nature of everything. I am a Margate based multidisciplinary artist, with a strong focus on large scale paintings, both indoors and outside. The work can be described as both figurative and socially surreal. I also work with sound and moving image in a collage type of way, connecting footage/sound at random. 

Most of my inspiration comes from the events of everyday life, of symbolism and rituals and the people I meet. Often complex layers of history, social anthropology and Cultural displacement become part of the work, as I investigate the notion of the constructed self and human behaviour. Being of Welsh, Caribbean and Irish descent, I am deeply rooted in hybrid culture, and the idea of a shared reality. Not only between us as humans, but also everything that makes up our natural/supernatural world, and how we balance between the two. 

Somebody once asked me to name one thing I am passionate about, and would like to change for  the world. My response was to enter everything from a non hierarchy point, to not look up to,  or down on anything. My practice responds to this ideal of mine through creating connections in a rhizomatic way, which allows for multiple ideas to enter and exit the work at random, inclusive of all angles.  

I studied at Wimbledon College of Arts, graduating with a Masters in Fine Art. I was awarded the Ferdynand Zweig Arts travel Scholarship award, and set up a collaborative engagement project between the Uk and Havana, Cuba. I was Shortlisted for the Mercury Music Arts Prize, Nasty Woman NYC and The Griffin x Elephant New Graduates Arts Prize. I recently Completed an artist residency with Elephant Magazine and have been Sponsored by Liquitex Paints. My latest project was a window painting installation commission by Artquest for their 20th anniversary, which is on show now at  UAL in Holborn, London.
