About

With inspiration from the likes of Hieronymus Bosch and Leonora Carrington, I work with painting sculpture, and textiles to embody the world of my mind. To ground myself in nature and escape into fantasy simultaneously. My work begins with myself, with the goal of reaching out to others and finding connections in imagery. The landscape of England and historical architecture bleed into my paintings where I blur the lines between real and unreal. I hope to look to the past to find archival techniques and apply them to my work, I believe the success of the future relies on the wisdom of the past.
