Hello!
I’m an artist/illustrator based in London and have been selling work in shops,
galleries, and at events across Southern England and Wales since 2010.
I’m currently working on a children’s book about a tiny, timid hoglet.
I’m also a registered Art Therapist and have experience supporting adults and young people with a wide range of mental health concerns. I have worked in a variety of settings, including an out of hours Mental Health Crisis Service, a Psychiatric Intensive Care Unit, an Adolescent Psychiatric Unit, an Inpatient Drug and Alcohol Unit and an Alternative Education Programme for young people.
Art and psychology have fascinated me since I was a child and I feel really fortunate to have been able to incorporate both interests into my life. For me, art is about finding balance, both within the artwork and within myself through the creative process. I believe anyone can gain from connecting with their creativity.
Picasso famously said:
Every child is an artist, the problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up.
The demands of adult life often lead us to feel blocked by our own judgments, fears, or the weight of responsibility. But art making can give us permission to temporarily let go of these demands and simply play with the art materials instinctively, as we may have done when a child. Doing this can bring a huge sense of relief and freedom. In my work as an art therapist, the biggest reward has been to see the people I work with unlock this vitality and make discoveries about themselves through the development of their own artistic process.
