I was born in Harrogate, N. Yorks and graduated from St. Martin’s School of Art in Fine Art in London where I still live. I work in oil on canvas, and also draw regularly from life, an essential part of my practice. The human face and figure are the main inspiration for my work, and through these subjects, I seek to portray the human condition. Often there is an implied drama in my compositions, the subjects caught in a moment or predicament. The open-ended nature of these images asks of the viewer to bring their own interpretations and experiences to the picture. My paintings are densely worked in layers of oil paint, and I feel that I build the subject, almost like a sculpture. Although realistic from a distance, in proximity loose brushstrokes  hold the marks of the brush as if still fluid and in movement.

Prizes include the Paula Rego Painting Prize, Women in Art Prize 2025, The Daler Rowney Prize, New Emergence Art 2025, the Ruth Hughes Bursary for the New Light Summer Exhibition 2025, the Platinum Award for the Cancer Feminine, 2022, the Judges Choice Prize in the Chaiya Art Awards 2021 and the Nude Category Award by the Artist Lounge Artist of the Year 2021. In 2018 I won the Holly Bush Emerging Woman Painter Prize.
