I am a Shepherd’s Bush based, visual artist who graduated from Central Saint Martin's with an MA in Fine Art in 2021.
The domestic environment and everyday aesthetics are evident in my art practice and became especially significant in lockdown when my home became my muse. I explore these themes through a combination of mark making printing, drawing, and photography to create videos, animations, and limited-edition digital prints and paintings.

"Domestic Impressions" is a captivating exploration of the often overlooked marks left behind by domestic cleaning cloths and knives, set against the backdrop of a well-worn chopping board. The artwork bursts with vibrant colours, each hue representing the different textures and materials used in the creation process.
Upon closer inspection, viewers are drawn into the intricate details of the piece. The marks made by the cleaning cloths are depicted with finesse, showcasing the rhythmic patterns created through repetitive motions. These marks, once mundane and unnoticed, are elevated to the realm of art, inviting contemplation on the beauty found in the everyday.
Interwoven with the impressions of cleaning cloths are the jagged lines left by knives, their edges sharp and precise against the backdrop of the chopping board. These lines serve as a reminder of the dual nature of domesticity – the act of both creating and dismantling, nurturing and cutting.
The juxtaposition of these elements evokes a sense of harmony amidst chaos, a celebration of the mundane and a reflection on the passage of time. "Domestic Impressions" invites viewers to reconsider their perceptions of domestic space, finding beauty in the traces left behind by the rituals of everyday life.
