South London based Interdisciplinary Artist.
Her practice weaves together Embodiment and Celebration as a Woman of Colour.
Hearkening to sensuality and pleasure, visceral wonder, openness and seeing explicit joy in nurturing life on the margins, she creates intimacy in rebuilding myths of femininity to align with the truth of her experience. Her recent Works on Paper stem from strong desire for reclamation from ‘exotification’, to harness identity and authenticity, instinctive, vivid and on her own terms.
Obsessed with the colour Red and in love with the collaborative nature at the heart of Feminism, she has begun to hold spaces online with the aim of fostering international community for marginalised folx.
Over the summer of 2023, she held ‘The Retreat’, which invited gathered participants from the UK, Ireland, US and Canada to engage in a 12 week deep dive into fostering their own creative voices, underpinned with the practice of Self Care. This year she was generously supported by the Grand Plan Fund in co-facilitating a 6 week series of workshops entitled ‘Embodied Writing’. Participants expanded their writing practice with craft skills entwined with somatic experience and Contemporary Art. She also held a 1.5hr ‘Visioning a Creative Future’ on behalf of Palestinian Aid in March. Participants were invited to connect with their futures selves through meditation, affirmative writing and art, their dreams, desires and needs, alongside an empathic view of traits that may hinder their growth.
She recently exhibited her work at CasildArt Contemporary’s inaugural group exhibition celebrating International Women’s Day ‘EmpowerHer: Courage, Creativity and Magical Thinking at their new space in Mayfair.
