At its core, my practice explores tenderness, care and collective strength. An intervention in contemporary culture.

Faces and bodies act as vehicles for emotion – an expression of a state. Existing in a space: between stillness and becoming, care and rebellion.

Painting in oil, I reflect on what lies beneath the surface. Paintings reveal a quiet feminine strength, tenderness, shared values and solidarity: expressed through community and understated resistance.

They are vessels of resilience, joy, hope and vulnerability, operating as projections of the self, shaped through collective and personal memory.

Rooted in an archival mindset with a reverence for drawing, my work seeks a balance between stillness and fluidity. A subtle sense of disquiet often runs through the work, a quiet liberation that offers both an entry and an exit point, for viewer and artist alike.

Influenced by feminist thought and writers such as Rosalind Galt I investigate how care, resistance, and stillness can challenge hierarchies that dismiss the emotional, the decorative, or the feminine as superficial.

My work aims to situate painting as a space for complexity rather than resolution, where shared vulnerability becomes a means of rebalancing narratives around strength, solidarity, and agency.
