A British artist, living and working in New York City.
I’m a British-born painter and printmaker based in New York City, working primarily in oil painting and relief printmaking. My work explores bold, sculptural abstraction - where color, texture, and the body converge. I’m drawn to physicality and experimentation in my process, and I aim to create visceral, emotionally charged compositions that invite close attention.
I first trained in printmaking at Bournville Institute of Art in Birmingham, UK, before earning a BA in English Literature from the University of Nottingham and an MA in Individualized Study from NYU. These academic experiences continue to shape my multidisciplinary approach, blending visual and narrative languages in my work. I’ve deepened my practice through non-traditional paths - with Shoestring Press in Brooklyn and studying with artists Peter Bonner at The Art Students League, and Avery Nelson and Sara Jimenez at NYC Crit Club.
My work has been shown in group exhibitions at The Painting Center in New York and the Royal Academy of Arts in London. I was awarded a Merit Scholarship at The Art Students League, where my work is also part of the League’s permanent collection. Recently, I presented a live printmaking demonstration at Art on Paper NYC with Shoestring Press.
I’m influenced by artists such as Phyllida Barlow, Brenda Goodman, and Nickola Pottinger, among others - drawn to their fearless materiality, emotional intensity, and inventive forms. I find inspiration in both the natural world - shells, driftwood, human limbs - and the built environment - skyscrapers, garages, phone apps. I’m interested in how abstraction can capture what it means to be human, and specifically a mother, in a world defined by super-technology.
I currently work out of my studio in Gowanus while raising my young family.
