I am an interdisciplinary artist currently based in the Gower Peninsula, Wales. I work in sculpture, drawing, woodcraft, and tattoo to create intricate dialogues with host architectures. My installations weave together objects and imagery from both digital and physical realms, exploring fabricated and terrestrial patterns across human and environmental systems.
I have exhibited internationally at the Krannert Art Museum in Illinois, the RAA Gallery in California, the V&A Museum in Dundee, Scotland, and AU Galerie Brunnengasse 76 in Vienna, Austria. I pursued my undergraduate studies at Humboldt State University in California and Gray's School of Art in Scotland. I went on to earn a Master of Fine Arts through a Creative and Performing Arts Fellowship and Graduate Teaching Scholarship at the University of Illinois, graduating in 2022. I have recently completed a Higher National Diploma in Furniture Craft and Design at City of Glasgow College and am now embarking on a Master’s in Stained Glass at the University of Wales Trinity Saint David.
