About.

Born on the south coast of England, my work is shaped by the geology and landscapes of West Sussex and the South Downs. Through processes of layering, excavation, and erosion, I work with chalk and limestone to create stone slurries that encase my paintings. These lunar-like surfaces are fallible to change, encouraging the viewer to embrace the impermanence of time.

My practice developed during my Master of Architecture studies at The Bartlett School of Architecture, UCL (2020–2022), where we were encouraged to explore the landscapes and towns we call home - for me, the South Downs. I was encapsulated by the narratives held within the chalk, as traces of their million year histories are still present. This method of representation allowed me to illustrate a building project based on harnessing the extremes of both preservation and demolition in a sustainable coalescence of new and old.

My work won two hand selected awards at The Bartlett Summer Show exhibition in 2022, chosen by Narinder Sagoo MBE and Professor Christoph Lindner.

I have since been invited to discuss my Master of Architecture projects at The Royal College of Art as a Guest Lecturer thanks to invitation from Architectural Historian and author, Joshua Mardell. I have also worked professionally as a Part 1 and Part 2 Architectural Assistant in Winchester, London, and Edinburgh, with the Scottish capital still being my home whilst studying toward full qualification as an architect.
