My Story…
I have always been a creative person, taking on many artistic roles over the years, from signwriting and pet portraits, to senior graphic designer and running my own pottery business, most of this whilst juggling being a mother and a carer.
I truly believe everyone has creative potential, and that art has the power to heal and unite us. For me, those years of caring for my own mother whilst becoming a mother myself was incredibly difficult, dark and lonely, but being able to escape to my studio, to the pottery wheel or easel, uncovered a profound sense of healing and resilience.
In early 2023, I made the decision to return to University and pursue a Fine Art degree at Wolverhampton School of Art, and I have never looked back. The course along with my past experiences have inspired me to create artwork as a means of connecting with and supporting others who may be navigating similar paths to my own.
I have begun to employ a multidisciplinary approach to artmaking, delving into the highs and lows of caregiving and motherhood, and creating artworks that spark meaningful conversations and to help others discover the healing power of artistic expression.
