ARTIST CV

VISUAL ARTIST BASED IN LONDON AND HERTFORDSHIRE

I have been a practicing artist since graduating from Goldsmiths in 2006.  I am interested in the stories we tell ourselves to make sense of the complex and entangled world we live in – hence working on cross-disciplinary, art-science projects as well as residencies and exhibitions. I work in a creative and dynamic way –  researching, drawing, crafting materials, talking with project partners and engaging people through events.
