If you've already looked through my website, it's pretty obvious that I am fascinated by colour. The more vibrant, the better. In a world torn by war and economic pressures, colour becomes an essential luxury, and so my artwork demands to be un-apologetically vibrant to elevate the everyday. Yellow is my signature colour, used to illuminate my art and produce honest, joyful energy.

I'd say I've been creative since childhood, when dance played a major part in my life. My first degree was in Choreography and Visual Arts, although when it comes to painting, I am self taught. Following my degree, I did some travelling, after which I decided to pursue another (very different) interest of mine - Law. I retrained and became a Solicitor, however, the call of creativity has always been strong, and during my first pregnancy, I was compelled to start painting. Like some women experience cravings, mine wasn't for food but for making art.

Since then, my artwork has been exhibited at the Holy Art Gallery in London and Athens following which I have largely been working on commission only basis. Although, currently, a few small pieces are available to be purchased through my website.

My artwork claims the space between the figurative and abstract. I work with acrylics on canvas, and use bold pallets and textured compositions. I want to create images that behave like moments, bright enough to stop you, and complex enough to stay with you.

Have a look through my website and Instagram, and email me to discuss making a bespoke piece for your home!
