I am a visual artist based in Shepherd’s Bush, currently pursuing a professional doctorate in Fine Art. After earning my MA from Central Saint Martins in 2021, my practice has evolved through an exploration of domestic spaces and everyday aesthetics.
During lockdown, my home became both subject and studio, deepening my interest in overlooked, intimate environments. Using mark-making, printmaking, drawing, and photography, I create videos, animations, and limited-edition digital prints and paintings. My work blurs the line between physical and digital, inviting viewers to notice the rhythm and nuance of the everyday.

"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.
