‘Breakthrough’ is GLA funded and led by the community, the installation came about after I was approached by the Purley Panel to create an artwork in a well-used and under-lit narrow laneway that connects the train station to the town centre.
The artwork was inspired by the hope and optimism of women of Purley in the face of something so literally concrete as the built environment. The artwork encapsulates the desire from women to reshape a city that does not serve us. There are parts of our city that perpetuate fear in women and men alike and changing them is no easy task. Whilst we slowly reshape our environment for our modern needs, I believe artwork can transform a space temporarily whilst provoking conversation about the city
I am an artist with a background in architecture and a passion for creating work that brings people and places to life. I run an interdisciplinary studio that specialises in mural painting, illustration, and sculpture, often working in public spaces to spark connection and joy.
Whether it’s a bold mural, a playful sculpture, or a detailed illustration, I use storytelling and design to create pieces that feel rooted in their surroundings. I love working on projects with a social conscience and always aim to make art that’s engaging, thoughtful, and full of character.
I have had my illustrations exhibited in a large open air solo exhibition in King Cross, I have worked with many local authorities to transform unloved spaces with immersive murals and I have created both temporary and permanent sculpture for public space.
I work with a large group of talented freelancers from craftspeople to mural teams which means my studio expands as needed for the project in hand. This means the we deliver the highest quality art work and no ideas are off the table
