Art and design have always been part of my life. It started with a degree in mixed media textiles at Loughborough University, then, as well as making art, I worked in a variety of creative environments involving diverse media for both fashion and interiors.
From 2001 to 2008, I moved to India, and my work took me to China and Vietnam. The intensity of life in these countries affected me deeply and this was a reflective time for me personally and artistically.
Now based in London, my work is drawn on the nature of time and memory, recording the intangible.
