Oysters (2022) – Acrylic paint on wood board

Oysters explores plant-fungal symbiotic relationships through playful, abstract forms. Oysters is an example of artworks from my ‘Nature- Series’ where I have researched and explored plants and natural forms. The work also connects with my love for propagating and growing plants.

Weaver’s Feast

A sculptural installation based in the field of Hauntology. The character is inspired by the fantastic archetypes of Salome, Judith, Varo and Kali. I am interested in unearthing personal and cultural memory, questioning current systems of oppression and how they came to be, weaving stories and sensitivities.

Feminism is a conspiracy

A tapestry designed to showcase an array of different conspiracy theories exploring the themes of controversy, identity, and feminism.

Untitled, 2023

A re-imagined landscape of the surrounding rural areas of the West Midlands. The unfinished nature of the work captures the ideas surrounding Plein Air painting, the act of painting from observation, and painting what is important to the artist.

Morality is a social construct

Inspired by a book Conversations with God, I suggest how nothing is intrinsically right or wrong, conveying how everything is relative. Instead of tuning into society’s recommendations for morality, tune into oneself and discover who you want to be.

Mamá

“Mamá” means Mother in Spanish. This is a very personal and special project regarding breast cancer, using digital art with oil technique. My aim is to share with the audience in order to normalize talking about the disease and help the cause. In this project, I am exploring my mother’s personal battle with breast cancer, by exhibiting different portraits each representing different stages of my mother’s experience.

Grief

Softening the soul that’s consumed by sorrow.

Materials: Plaster, Blackest Black 2.0, a mirror and my own brain cast.

Under His Wings 2022

The purpose of installation is to examine canvas’s characteristics. Connection between mixed materials, creation, and movement- the colour of the skies in sea blue tones, the sea waves, and a sense of freedom which is represented with silhouettes of swallows.

You shouldn’t stare

This illustration was part of inktober. I selected and made up the list of 31 prompts myself of words that I find interesting. For this illustration the prompt was “Dog” and the final result was made completely out of ink.

L’s Watching The L Word, 2023

A 16×16 inch acrylic painting on canvas. The painting depicts a little, mundane moment between the artist and their partner that wouldn’t necessarily stand out to anyone. However, I have found that it’s the small moments that matter most.

The séance

Created in response to the Batsford prize prompt ‘At Peace’, The séance is inspired by the fraudulent psychics and mediums who practised in America at the turn of the 19th Century.

Inktober

A piece I made for Inktober, a daily art challenge that follows a new art prompt for every day. This illustration was made for the prompt, “Scurry”. I created an unsettling squirrel/ spider hybrid creature, inspired by video games.

What is happiness?

A piece inspired by responses to the question ‘What makes you happy?’ including images which reflected the responses, but also thinking about how colour, process and texture impacts the emotional response of happiness from the piece.

Shining the light onto Women empowerment

My practice concerns women’s empowerment, using acrylic paint to create these beautiful flowers which represent the genitalia of a woman, the Vagina. Acrylic paint allows me to use multiple colours catching the eye of the audience due to its vibrancy.

You Live Through Us

Contains 3 charcoal portraits of myself, my Nan, and my Mum. It is an ode to two of the key feminine role models in my life. The concept behind this artwork is to show the contrast between the three generations.

Untitled

This piece is the result of a project playing with the idea of individual process, a personal need for sequence and repetition, and how an artwork can act as a sort of time capsule.

‘U’

The beginning of the word Ugly representing the negativity around beauty standards.

Made up of 40 flowers in a foam funeral flower.

Brick

In response to my interest in the prosaic, BRICK is a sculptural facsimile replicating a house brick. The piece is made from foam, clay and acrylic.

Art is a Communication

My practice is based on the use of art as a therapeutic coping tool to aid self-reflection of emotions, thoughts and situations.

Amongst the Flames

These two pieces of work were created based on the prompt ‘Fire’. They incorporate influences from mythology and traditional Japanese artwork, in particular, the legend of the phoenix which is reborn from fire was the main inspiration for the work.

Shrouded

An installation piece highlighting the continued impact of Covid-19 on the chronically sick and disabled, 500,000 of whom are still in isolation in the UK today.

It consists of a window frame, covered with a shroud, hanging on a wall.
