Not Knowing
Iron Oxide Red on canvas
90x70cm
2026
I listen to the ground and hear it breathe
I’m trying to see but am blinded
The branches hug me from the sky
I’m seeking a safety that can’t be found
There is not truth, no answer, no order
Just a delicate process
that we don’t understand until time has passed
The red soil stains my fingers
Re-tuning the compass
to mystery
gently showering
with curiosity and awe
the brokenness softens
We wait
not knowing
but freed
Devoted Warmth / Tough Tender
Acrylic, raw pigment, situational debris on canvas
Diptych each 90x70cm
2022
A painting trying to make sense of the emotional mother-daughter landscape and the palpable residues it creates. Made in 2022 and sits truer than ever with our maelstrom of changes.
Whisper into the void
Acrylic, raw pigment, situational debris (water, air) on canvas
160x120cm
2025-2024
Every summer we take the whole family to a small cabin on an island in Sweden. The sparse living is a welcome relief to a world of overwhelming choice. It’s a place which re-sets, re-wilds and reminds. This painting is a keepsake of this feeling I get there while gazing into the void.
Hallowed Grounds
Acrylic, raw pigment, situational debris on canvas
63x49cm
2025
‘Hallowed Grounds’ stems from cycling in London during balmy summer evenings with the echoes of people existing around me. Their pain and joy leave marks in the thick air; carrying their stories.
These ephemeral junctures interest me because they behave like a painted philosophy, an unruly, particle-filled cosmoses or unseen atoms which become energy fields with anchored points. It is not a reality, but a physicality of emotions, that I create: “A ‘coming-to-understanding’ how we co-exist in a transient world of longing and unusual systems of existing”.
Rain, Gravel, Bus
Acrylic, raw pigment (Green Earth, Parchment, Gneis Green), situational debris (gravel, stones, leaves) on canvas
160x120cm
2025
This artwork begun on a forest bed in England and finished in Putney between many walks to and from the school bus while handholding, both physically and mentally, my teenage daughter. A space of confusion, new rules, hardship, even cruelty at times. Her cynicism is mounting and the mother in me is trying to keep her interior soft.
A self-portrait of Inner Dialogues
Acrylic, raw pigment (aged copper), situational debris on canvas
180x150cm
2026-2025
The painting is a reflection of aging and becoming. There is an enormous freedom in ageing, the body may feel worn, but the mind has power and a better capacity of letting go. It’s liberating to give less f*cks. I want to celebrate aging, especially female aging, more.
Acid Sleep
Acrylic, raw pigment, situational debris (plastic) on canvas
180x150cm
2025-2023
Generation of Long Thumbs
Acrylic, raw pigment (iron oxide, graphite, chalk), situational debris (wood shavings, pine needles, bark, sand) on canvas
180x150cm
2025-2023
An artwork which begun on the forest bed in Sweden while detoxing the screen-addicted London child who’s adjusting to forest living and learning to build a tree house. At times I’m scared how the devices take over and wonder if we’re the last generation of Homo Sapiens.
Laughter
Installation
Sound wave inspired wood hanging structure, acrylic, raw pigment, situational debris on canvas
Approximately 180x150cm
2025-2024
Daughter Cell
Acrylic, raw pigment, situational debris on canvas
160x120cm
2024
Painted in the Swedish forest near the Baltic Sea. ‘Daughter cell’ is a reflection that we are all born with a soft, agile and open demeanour. The edges of the moon jellyfish is painted with plastic as a represenatation of how through living the edges become harder and stiffer. I look at my children and remind myself ‘to keep their jelly as soft as possible for as long as possible’.

The Murk
Acrylic, raw pigment, situational debris on canvas
180x150cm
2024
The raw canvas was plunged in the Thames and worked on by the shore of the river. It is dirty and filled with debris of us. I struggle to see beyond the water surfaces. She sits on secrets and unknown. She silently listens to us and living with us. A contemplation of time. Water tides has an undeniable effect (affect) on us. Its literal effect of gravity, magnetic pull and cycles but also the metaphorical tides forming us as humans. Further the quote of ‘Time and tide wait for no-man’ sprung to my mind. The idea of water eroding the surroundings, creating patina of age, reforming and replenishing. It portrays eternity, infinity and passing of time. Maybe in an almost spiritual way the water shows us: we are equal and we will all die.
