in my childhood bedroom, there is a box full of trinkets formed out of colourful beads, polymer clay, resin, elastics, and paper. it is a contender for my most prized possession. I have always been a crafter; creating meant I could always find a sandbox to play in. I’d fall in love with a craft, and every couple of years, I’d cycle through to a new one; from folding origami, to beading jewelry, to sculpting clay charms, and finally, to pencil and paper.
nowadays, i’m passionate about capturing feelings, memories and nostalgia through my art. with vibrant colours and flowing shapes and lines, I aim to capture light, and see what emotions it can reveal. but I haven’t grown out of the desire to play, and within art I find joy in experimenting with mediums and ideas.
I'm always eager to collaborate with other artists, studios and brands to bring exciting things to life.
