BIO
I am a self-taught, emerging artist. My art explores the destabilising emotions experienced during transitions, whilst celebrating the growth and discovery that they bring. I have deeply explored the integration into an unfamiliar culture and the discombobulation of returning home after 8 years away. Recently my focus has shifted to the transformative experiences women face throughout their lives, from menses, to childbirth and menopause. This is largely influenced by my doula work.
