Biography

I work with paint and felt to create art that explores contemporary issues through a visual narrative. My practice combines abstract painted acrylic backgrounds with constructed felt elements, creating a two-layer compositional approach in which material contrast plays a central role.

Rooted in an interest in how government, business and societal decisions affect everyday life and how society reacts when trust becomes eroded, I am drawn to moments of collective frustration, irony and resilience. Often, I use humour not to diminish seriousness but to sharpen it. Felt, as a textural material of softness and childhood familiarity, yet steeped in cultural symbolism, allows the viewer immediate connection, while delivering a pointed commentary that is open to interpretation

By layering these materials, I create a dialogue between vagueness and specificity, allowing humour to act as both an entry point and a critical device. Through this approach, I aim to engage the viewer in conversations around power, governance and societal response, addressing subjects that are often uncomfortable and polarising.
