My practice brings together over 20 years of professional experience and training across teaching, jewellery making and art history. My earlier career as an English teacher developed a lasting interest in how people understand, interpret and create meaning across different cultural and linguistic contexts.

​

Over time, my personal interest in art history grew into a deeper curiosity about how we encounter and connect with images, objects and the language we use to understand them. I am interested in the ways words and images shape our perceptions of the world and the stories we create around it.

​

Bringing these different experiences together, I have developed a practice where looking, thinking, creating and sharing inform one another. My work moves between academic inquiry, creative practice and public engagement, exploring the relationships between art, language and people.
