My projects usually begin with explorations into texture, colour, shape and pattern; working in the space between abstract and figurative.

With a background in photography I often experiment with 35mm film, analogue photographic processes, projections, printmaking and hand-drawn animation.

I completed an MA in Animation (Royal College of Art) in 2017, and have made work for the likes of Greenpeace, British Council, Amnesty International, Channel 5, NHS, European Parliament, Sting & Peter Gabriel, Dead Oceans, The Open University / BBC, Lost Map Records, Secretly Group, The Glow MGMT, and more.

My graduation film ‘Attraction‘ has been part of over 50 international festivals, turned into 6 unique installations, and was Finalist for ‘Best Student Film’ at the biennial British Animation Awards (2018) and Runner-up for ‘Best Animation’ at Booooooom TV Awards (2019).

Having received Jerwood Arts funding through a Flatpack Projects development scheme, I created and performed live audiovisual work at various science and art festivals. I later collaborated with The Light Surgeons on an arts project on visual music - including a live performance at the Rich Mix arts centre in London.

I also ran, and wrote the curriculum for, the Royal College of Art’s Drawing Studio from 2018-2019; engaging a wide range of artists and tutors to deliver specialist classes for students across all disciplines at the university.

Open to commissions and collaborations.
