An interdisciplinary artist currently based in London, they work across moving image, photography, installation, and material-based practices, shaped by a diverse educational background that spans healthcare and fine art. Their training at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago fostered an expansive studio methodology through study in visual communication, photography, fiber, painting, film studies, ceramics, fashion, and art therapy. Grounded in psychological inquiry, their work examines love, vulnerability, and emotional ambivalence, translating internal states into visual and spatial forms through art-therapy-informed approaches. Formally, the practice leans toward abstraction and cross-material experimentation, often juxtaposing soft and rigid elements to articulate emotional structures that shift between tension and tenderness. Their work positions personal experience as a site for broader reflection, inviting viewers to reconsider relationships between self, affect, and social context.
