I make paintings and sculptures about the stories we inherit. I'm interested in the expectations placed on women, and how those expectations continue to shape the way we see ourselves and each other.

​

I keep coming back to contradiction: beauty and violence, strength and vulnerability, care and control. I'm drawn to the space where these opposites exist together, where something can be seductive yet unsettling, familiar yet quietly confrontational.

​

I work with materials that already have a history—broken china, lace, vintage textiles, barbed wire and everyday domestic objects. Some are found, some inherited, others simply overlooked. By breaking, stitching, binding and rebuilding them, I transform ordinary objects while allowing them to retain traces of their past.

​

I'm not interested in nostalgia. I'm interested in what these materials reveal about value, labour, memory and the roles we've inherited. The home can be a place of comfort, but it can also be a place of expectation and repetition. I want the work to hold those tensions without trying to resolve them.

​

Whether I'm painting or making sculpture, I want people to be drawn in by beauty before they notice something isn't quite right. A delicate surface might conceal something sharp. Something broken can become unexpectedly powerful. Beauty becomes a way into conversations about identity, gender and the stories we continue to carry.

​

I'm more interested in asking questions than providing answers. My work invites viewers to look again at the familiar and reconsider the meanings we attach to objects, to beauty and to the roles we've inherited.
