Working with collage, oil, and distemper paint, my practice explores painting as a polyphonic and interruptive form. I am interested in how images can hold multiple temporalities at once: the remembered past, the constructed present, and the imagined future. Each painting becomes a form of auto-fiction - part lived experience, part invention; competing voices and histories converge.

Collage plays an important role in my process, allowing fragments of images, experiences, and references to overlap and shift. Influenced by the writing of Ali Smith, I often begin with creative writing and use association, interruption, and reconstruction to develop both text and painting. Polyphony is central to this approach, with multiple voices, perspectives, and visual languages existing simultaneously within the work.

My paintings draw on the work of artists including David Hockney, Peter Blake, Pauline Boty, and R. B. Kitaj, whose approaches to space, popular culture, and fragmented imagery continue to inform my practice.

After working at the gallery Hazlitt Holland-Hibbert, I developed a strong desire to move from working around painting to making paintings myself. I am currently studying for an MA at City and Guilds of London Art School.

Ultimately, my paintings function as memory-scapes where personal history, imagination, and cultural references coexist.
