I am a painter, weaver and researcher currently doing a PhD in textile research for trauma recovery. For the past two years I have been on The Clothworkers Company of Weavers Award - developing my artistic practice at Cockpit Arts, London’s leading studios for contemporary crafts and the UK’s only business incubators for makers and designers. In 2019, I graduated from an MA in Weave at the Royal College of Art. Since them, I have been mentoring students with building their portfolio and undertake research. Alongside my practice, I also teach drawing and painting for all levels. Painting is an expression of a state of mind, emotions and sensations. With the right tools and skills, it can become your language. I help my students building their aesthetic and gain confidence whether it is for leisure or professional purposes. I sell my work on the online platform Zatista and have given talks on textile and mental health at the Craft Council. I am also part of a research project with the Craft Council and Creative Europe.
