After eight years running my own fashion business in London, I relocated to Connecticut, USA, and began painting again. My creative path has evolved from designing, pattern cutting, and crafting bespoke wedding dresses to exploring a new medium in oil paint. In recent years, formal studies at the Lyme Academy of Fine Arts have provided me with a rigorous foundation in classical techniques, which I now blend with a contemporary approach to still life, landscape, and portraiture.

I regularly take commissions, either capturing the personality of a beloved pet, a meaningful still life, or the individuality of a portrait. Each work is an exploration of light and form, with the intention of bringing lasting emotion and meaning to the viewer.
