At the centre of my practice is drawing. A fast, emotional and intuitive way of working. My sketchbooks are informal, often humorous, and function as a visual diary through which I record and reflect on my everyday experiences.

My practice responds to the constant flow of life around me, using drawing as a way of capturing moments, emotions and encounters that might otherwise be forgotten. Through this process, I explore grief, family dynamics, intimacy, relationships, travel and the experience of existing within a female body.

Drawing allows me to process these experiences through observation, memory and imagination, transforming personal events into visual narratives that are often absurd, intimate and psychologically charged.
