STATEMENT
My practice uses vivid colour, surreal scale and solitary figures to reveal the emotional worlds hidden within familiar objects and spaces. Moving across digital illustration, painting, printmaking and installation, I explore memory, identity, womanhood and the quiet tension between constraint and transformation.
