“My main focus is portraiture of women and children, investigating beauty ideals and aging. Victorian cabinet cards and historical paintings are used for inspiration often looking at timelines, working with collaged painted elements and Antique found papers.

I have always had an interest in Antiques, Often visiting auctions in my youth, these objects we discover sink into our creative self and I can see how a fascination with old objects began, as a keen collector I use found objects connected to beauty as my canvas, incorporating compact mirrors, jewellery boxes and gloves. These objects have a historical past, often disregarded with little value, I love reworking items and giving them a new desirability.

I have produced outdoor murals and paste-ups as street art, painting at Upfest, Cheltenham Paint Festival and Look Up and regularly sold works at The Affordable Art Fairs in London, Hong Kong and Singapore."
