Having worked as a graphic designer in London for over 13 years I started to feel the artist in me drift away with budgets and deadlines. I decided to take myself away, to meander and go back to the undergraduate fine artist who wasn’t scared to make bad marks and to create work that conveyed her inner landscape. This was a period of incubation, of realising my occupation with the spaces around us and how we fold into them.

My work reacts to both inner and outer landscapes. Investigating external surroundings and how they can act as an anchor in defining our place in the world, whilst being an agent of internal change. Landscape acts as a translator, teaching us to look and really see, to gain knowledge. A reminder of who is really in charge, that there are bigger things at work than the individual. This has always been reassuring to me and I've been trying to capture this experience from an internal & external perspective, at micro & micro levels.

Working often from visual memory to capture the lingering memory of a flash of colour, a scattering of light. My goal is to investigate diverse environments, to map their impressions, how they touch people’s lives and how people adapt and define themselves through the lens of the land they find themselves in. Hektor & Lanzarote offer a unique story in the experience of living with arid, volcanic land, which I’m captivated to explore.
