After being expelled from school I've had a fun but rather checkered career! From making and selling clothes at London markets, to working as a textile specialist for Peter Marino architects in NYC.

In the 2000's, I created a successful brand designing gift and homewares (solely manufactured in collaboration with premium UK makers). These were very successful and sold in stores all over the world. My gallery/shop in Oxo Tower welcomed multitudes of customers and won a Time Out award. I also designed ranges for many museums and stately homes such as Tate, Chatsworth House, Museum of London and St.Pauls cathedral.

Becoming burned out in 2019 I returned to making art in my studio in Croydon. Since early childhood I've been soothed, inspired, and moved by the colours, patterns and sensations of being nature and so this helped me via my artworks. They are a continuation of this life-long fascination and focus.

Additionally, the work I do alongside my art practice as a counselling psychotherapist has an impact on the forms and made-up botanical imagery that I create!
