About

Art is vital to me. Creating is how I process our world, inviting you to join me in untangling the complexities of our shared human experience.

My unique style fuses historical art practices with contemporary culture. Dada, pop art, and post-internet art collide with internet memes and poor images, creating a visual language all my own. This blend addresses social, political, and technological issues, unified by absurdist humour and a gentle, but persistent questioning of 21st-century life.

I employ traditional techniques like hand embroidery, collage, and needlepoint to visualise modern cultural reflections. This juxtaposition of labour-intensive crafts with contemporary themes pushes urgent matters to the fore, encouraging moments of deeper contemplation.

My work is a mirror to our times – familiar yet strange, humorous, disturbing, and sometimes profound. It invites you to pause, reflect, and perhaps see our world anew.
