I’m inspired by everything around me, from the patterns found in the urban jungle, conversations with people, walking through nature and experimenting with mediums.
What are you most excited about being part of the CollaborARTISTS project?
I’m really excited to be leading on this collaborative project, working with a highly talented group of international artists. I’m mostly looking forward to learning about the artist’s processes and thoughts, and seeing what our creatives produce over the course of the project.

Sum up your style in 3 words?
"Fluid, Experimental, Self-reflective"
How to you get inspired to create?
”As an artist, I am always thinking about how to translate images in my mind into painting, sculpture or film. These images can come from any number of places such as dreams, my personal archive of photographs and objects I've collected, or a poem. Ideas germinate from these sources over time and eventually find their form in my work."
What are you most excited about being part of the CollaborARTISTS project?
"I am really looking forward to talking to the other artists who are part of this project, and understanding their experience of the last few months.
I would love to learn about their artistic processes, and their practices in general. This is a great platform to connect and work with people I probably might not have met otherwise!"
