ABOUT
__________
I am a multimedia visual artist.
London-born and LA-based I have been working as a photographer and artist for as long as I can remember.
I first picked up a camera when I was 11 years old, a beautiful Nikon FM2 that I use to this day.
My mother would tell you that I could most often be found surrounded by pens, paper, scissors, glue you name it, I was always making something, my imagination was where I wanted to be.

Photography was always a natural thing to do. Exploring the world this way was instinct. Composition, color, and capturing the soul of my surroundings was intuitive.
Discovering artists like Uta Barth, Francesca Woodman, Louise Bourgeois, and many more, was eye-opening and inspiring. These women encouraged me to take my concepts further and dig deeper.

I have always been a writer, putting pen to paper is a daily practice. With the work that I have been creating most recently, I have given myself full license to speak freely. The fiber art pieces in my catalog are a fusion of all the things I am most passionate about. Writing, textiles, and photography.
The Series “Cheap Sheets and Soiled Small” really taught me that, more than anything, sharing one's truth creates a bond, a shared experience.
Understanding, making sense of, and sharing evry aspect of this human experience is the drive behind everything I do.
It is this aspect of creating that interests me most.

The Fiber art pieces that I create are a meditation. Labor intensive and time-consuming they serve as a reminder to take your time and be considered.
They have also allowed me to expand my artistic practice. To develop new skill sets as I look to re-imagine these analog pieces for the digital realm.
