I am an emerging artist and trainee Art Therapist based in the Midlands, UK. I work across media, in found objects, cardboard and textile.

As an emerging artist and trainee Art Therapist , I work with a dual attention to the personal and the political—foregrounding lived experience while critically engaging with social structures.

I am interested in the material language of the everyday; working with scraps, textiles and discarded objects that hold memory, stories and to offer repair. Working with what is overlooked to explore themes of class, marginalisation, and survival. Making becomes both a site of resistance and a space for reflection, where what is often unseen or unspoken can be brought into view.
