story.

From a young age, my life has been defined through creativity, experimentation and the ability to express myself in unique and meaningful ways. Never quite fitting into any mould, I have forged my own artistic path.

A gatherer of all things eclectic, bold and disparate in nature, I have spent much of my life creating in response to interacting with the rich and diverse cultures of other countries, their people, craftsmanship and nature. I view my time spent living in Nigeria and the Netherlands, while travelling extensively with my family as a child and teenager, as pivotal in shaping how I continue to see the world today, and the highly sensory and humanising experiences that observation, curiosity, and interaction offer.

As an artistic consequence of these profound experiences, I continue to draw upon my creative passions, my background in interior design and floral styling, and currently finds myself playing with botanicals and form. Capturing the beauty of steel, plants, and florals within bespoke and limited-edition biophilic object art and installations, each element is thoughtfully considered, designed, and handcrafted – coming together to suit a specific space or place, ensuring a dynamic, visually layered composition of living, breathing art.
