Creating art is a deeply personal and therapeutic journey for me. My work serves as a visual reflection of my emotional state at specific moments in time. Much of my creativity flows intuitively through music, dreams, and playful experimentation with various materials and techniques. When I create, my intention is to express my mental health journey and raise awareness, so others facing similar challenges feel seen and understood. As a neurodivergent individual living with fibromyalgia, my health and wellbeing profoundly shape both my work and my creative perspective.

By utilising found materials and having a mixed media approach to creation, my work is a testament to trial and error, the passage of time and happenstance. The qualities of the Japanese aesthetic Wabi-Sabi influence my work greatly. Tactile expressions of degradation, weathering, and asymmetry are evident within my artwork. I embrace accidental marks and irregularities, enhancing the beauty in the imperfect and incomplete – to accept all parts of me, and my creative process along the way.
