 b.1992 United Kingdom
currently living and working in Costa da Caparica Portugal. 

 

Her semi-abstract scenes are born from improvised dances that transform movement into a language of lines that flow like script across the page. Fascinated by the moment of creation itself, her practice centers on allowing images and stories to surface organically. The inner landscape of the particular moment plays out visually; figures emerge, a horizon, hands stretch, limbs rest floating. These expressive marks serve as a record of the encounter between artist and canvas as she explores the delicate relationship of vulnerability and trust between a tiny human and a vast universe.
