About me

I’m a North-London-based conceptual artist with an architectural background, driven to create strong, versatile, inclusive art that resonates with living an authentic life. 

An exhibition in Barcelona in the summer of 2023 contained the Banksy quote:

"The greatest crimes in the world are not committed by people breaking the rules but by people following the rules. It's people who follow orders that drop bombs and massacre villages."

This triggered something for me, marking a definitive beginning and a clear path forward in what I needed to explore. I was raised as an inherent rule-follower: art allows me to question societal rules. Themes include beauty standards, domestic violence and aging, amongst other topics. I am continually surprised by human resilience: people endure unspeakable experiences, reported ubiquitously in the press, and that should have broken the people involved beyond repair, yet they continue. 

The aim of my work is to evoke empathy, give hope, inspire change, and challenge societal norms.

I hope you enjoy it!
