BIOGRAPHY
My art is an ongoing investigation of mapping the night sky, travels, and childhood memory. I draw inspiration from life: an early childhood in the shadow of Disney’s fireworks in Anaheim, a textile apprenticeship in Kobe, art direction in Hong Kong, studying in London and rural life in Wales.
I look for the universal in the particular and the connections between different times, places and cultures, using a complex, abstract personal investigation guided by intuition. My work is diverse – iron, Japanese textiles, and paper – but always closely linked to process and understanding of materials including their history and connection to culture.
Currently I am exploring ancient methods of plant dyeing techniques, Earth pigments and things found in the river as well as using organic sugar fermentation to make Indigo, and ruminating on the consequent resonance in society, nature, space and time.
I exhibit my work nationally and internationally. I am participating in upcoming exhibition, ‘Room’,January, 2019 at Loveland Museum, Colorado and at Strathmore Museum, Maryland in March,2019 .
I was visiting artist at the University of Minnesota, 49th annual iron pour in April and have participated in many conferences and panels as a guest speaker. I am available for teaching workshops, speaking engagements and commissions.

Climate catastrophe and species extinction is something many artists refuse to turn away from. It is a pivotal time for our species and planet, we are determined to raise awareness through our art.
The Jenny Gallery is proud to present ‘Confluence’ its first pop-up exhibition at Safehouse1 chosen as a venue because of its stripped back to the bones domestic architecture making it an ideal environment for showcasing a diverse range of art from the deeply personal to the global, through the medium of painting, sculpture, installation, printmaking, textiles, photography and film. As Stephen Jay Gould expresses in his work Natural History “ We cannot win this battle to save species and environments without forging an emotional bond between ourselves and nature-for we will not fight to save what we do not love” Art is an emotional bond we need now, more then ever.
Venue: Safehouse1, 139 Copeland Road, Peckham Rye, London, SE15-3SN
