At the centre of my practice, is drawing. Fast, emotional and impulsive. My sketchbooks are messy and humorous, and act as a slightly absurd visual diary. 

Life is bubbling up around me and my practice acts as a way to pin down moments, feelings, stories, that I might otherwise forget. I use it to make sense of grief, family dynamics, love, breakups, travelling, the feeling of existing in a female body.
