Learning in my thirties that I'm autistic has resulted in a journey of reflection, re-evaluation and self love. I paint those who identify as women and non-binary in order to improve compassion towards my internal & external self, relearning a lifetime of neurotypical conditioning and the effects of capitalism on the way I view myself, and to see bodies as the work of art they are.

I create mixed media pieces, primarily using acrylics, and simple materials such as gel wax pens and oil pastels.

Being both an artist and art psychotherapist, I am interested in the healing capacity of art as well as its role in conveying meaning and communication with both the internal and external words. I draw inspiration for my paintings from my unconscious as it manifests in dreams and visions. I am inspired by esoteric sciences such as Kabbalah and quantum mechanics. My treatment of photography evokes that of painting and is highly experimental in nature. The shots are created with the use of self-made optical devices, which allow me to beguile the camera into shooting abstract images. In more than one way these instruments replace paint tubes and brushes.

Sometimes I write poetry in response to visual art, sometimes I create art in response to poetry.

I am a multidisciplinary artivist whose ideas circulate around protest, apocalyptic possibilities, climate change and utopia. I often take an anarchic view to traditional spaces for art and prefer using public interventions and community collaborations to spark energy for change. I grew up in Brentford and I have a degree in Fine Art and Art History from Manchester School of Art and The University of Barcelona. I am currently based in London and I have always lived in cities; the grit and absurdity of which are often captured in my works. My practice sits on a line between humour and horror, humour being a useful tool with which to approach hyperobjects such as the climate crisis and neoliberal global capitalism. I regularly use recycled materials and objects collected from the streets to make work as an act of non-monetary exchange, community cleaning and through which I enjoy subverting the elitism which surrounds the art world.

My interest is in the play of colour and texture as they revolve around nature and people. I use digital software to re-work sketches, painting and photographic images to explore the play of colour, texture and line that presents itself. It's a multi-layered approach whereby original sketches and photographs may be re-worked, re-painted and then re-worked a number of times till completion of the final image – a process that can take many months. My aim is to delight and surprise the viewer – for them to see and feel an abstraction of the familiar re-presented from a new perspective.

As an Eco-artivist, 'Rubbish artist,' and mosaicist, I pioneer sustainable art, creating works entirely from waste and with the minimum possible environmental impact.

Haunted by mankind’s imminent self-destruction, I believe in systemic re-thinking. Each tessera I create is a protest against our disposable lifestyle.

My commitment to sustainability encompasses every aspect of my life, from veganism to renewables, second-hand clothes, and not flying.

Formerly a City solicitor, I graduated with distinction from LSoM in 2019, where I also lectured Fabrication. Internationally, I exhibited in 100+ venues, was published in 90+ articles and textbooks, and won 20+ awards. I ama member of the Insights Of An EcoArtist community (IOAEA), the By/Design collective, Act for Ealing, BAMM, Heritage Crafts, VAA and Mensa.

I am the founder of Payment in Kind(ness)© (accepting eco-friendly actions as payment towards my artwork) and of ArtforTrash© (creating artwork with the clients’ own waste). I donates 10% of any ArtforTrash commission to Neptune's Pirates (or other environmental charities), and I run pro-bono projects on eco-awareness.

I amnow on retainer with the Institute of Marine Sciences in Venice for the next few years.

I am an artist and architect based in West London.
My medium is black ink pen and marker on Fabriano paper. I create a series of drawings and am currently working on a Biophilia project focused on nature and culture themes.
I was brought up in the forest of Borneo and my work reflects my heritage of living in nature.
My drawings series began in 2010 amid the financial crisis. Then after the pandemic struck in 2019, I have been rigorously spending more time on drawing series in which I am seeking a representation for my works.
