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.

I also use my art to raise awareness and start conversations, and have painted portraits for exhibitions on subjects such as FGM, childlessness, forgotten women in STEM, 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 currently have a painting in a group show at the Hastings Museum until January 2027, and a solo show of 28 of my Hastings paintings at Cake Room cafe on Robertson Street in Hastings which runs from 28th October - 30th November 2026.

I have just launched my 2027 Hastings calendar, and am also painting portraits to celebrate menopausal women for a potential future exhibition - dates and venue to be confirmed.
