Exhibitions 2018
"Small World Futures is a collection of 38 miniature sculptures depicting what life could look like in years to come. Each of these small artworks will be placed in public spaces (#unsettledgallery) around London Bridge. Every day throughout February we will be featuring one of these worlds here on the website. A writer will also use the world as an inspiration to create something new and fresh, their words describing the shape of a new world."
As part of this Collect Connect project my piece "Vibe Drome" will make its journey to the streets of London.

2018 is a year of focusing on developing my work rather than seeking out exhibition opportunities, so I will be in the studio tent working on some larger scale paintings this year. However, do come along to the Kingston Artists' Open Studios this year and meet me there if you like!

Nasty Women Exhibition 22nd - 24th September 2017 7 Roach Rd, London E3 2PA "Woman and Home" framed signed artist's print donated.
(The Nasty Women Global Art Movement was started in New York to increase tolerance and garner support for individual rights using the universal platform of art as a forum for self-expression. Nasty Women UK is an intersectional movement bringing together people of all genders, races, faiths and LGBTQIA identities. We want to give everyone who has ever felt silenced a voice, and are appealing to anyone who is committed to advancing equal rights to submit works for inclusion in this inspiring weekend of events.)
