Art to comfort the disturbed & disturb the comfortable...

Specific Projects

The Abandoned Doll Project

Transient Nature

A Question of Identity

The work I’ve created for these projects feels like a true reflection of my artistic identity, capturing the essence of what I strive to express as an artist. Each of these projects is ongoing and continually evolving as I develop new ideas and deepen my exploration; they will continue to grow and expand over time.

About me

The phrase "Art should comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable", attributed to the Mexican Poet, Cesar A. Cruz, resonates deeply and aligns perfectly with the message I aim to project through my artworks in my pursuit of connection with those who also seek solace and comfort in pushing through difficult emotions to find peace.

I grew up in the North West of England, surrounded by echoes of the past—fascinated with family photographs yellowed with age, heirlooms passed down through generations, and stories of hard lives once lived, now serve as references for deeply personal reflections on perception and identity.

I approach each piece of work as a way of processing memory and my understanding of past experiences; how they have shaped me as an adult and as a woman navigating the world today.

I invite viewers into a world where broken and discarded things still have voices—where each crack, stain, and missing limb tells a tale of survival and beauty. I am interested in parallels and the subtle interplay between what we perceive as ugly or beautiful, weak or strong, important or unimportant.

In the subject matter I choose, I aim to evoke emotions via the use of objects and metaphors that, simultaneously, seem both fragile and defiant as testament to my own fortitude and emotional strength.

Some of my work is indeed difficult to look at and is certainly challenging but hopefully, beauty can be found for most in the fragility of its spirit.
