Me with Hibo Wardere and my portraits of FGM survivors at the Houses of Parliament in 2016.
About
I’m an artist and illustrator. I graduated from Norwich School of Art with a BA (Hons) degree in Illustration. After almost 20 years in London I now live by the seaside in Hastings with my husband.
I create hand-painted illustrations for my own range of prints, greetings cards, mugs and calendars, and undertake commissions for portraits of people, homes and pets.
I also use my art to raise awareness and start conversations around difficult subjects such as FGM, childlessness, mental health, menopause, and refugees.
In 2016 my four portraits of FGM survivors were exhibited at the Houses of Parliament and the William Morris Gallery in Walthamstow, East London.
I’ve exhibited extensively at various venues including the Mall Gallery in London and the Hastings Museum and Art Gallery.
I’m currently planning the 12 new paintings for my 2027 Hastings calendar, and painting portraits to celebrate menopausal women for a future exhibition - dates and venue to be confirmed.
