Of her work she says:
‘Seeking to communicate the specifics of experience. The elements of individual memory & time, a life from one space to another both a physical & emotional journey. As the route unfolds, as the path stretches on, the layers accumulate with life’s adventures & challenges. My work is an emotive response to the path ahead & what has been’.

In physical terms my journey has brought me here to the Isle of Wight restless waters, a fresh challenge from my life in London in the fashion industry. Here I have found a new space an inner capacity to question & decipher. A place to continue constructing my history within the language of a potent creativity. ’
