<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I live on the Isle of Wight and work from a small studio at home, just minutes from the sea, rock-pools and beaches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2022 I graduated from the University of Chichester with a first-class Honours Degree in Fine Art. It was during this time that my interest in architecture and spatial design, from an artist’s point of view, developed and grew.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was later offered a place at the University of Portsmouth where I am now studying for an MA in Architecture (Spatial Design Practices). Since September 2023, I have been investigating issues such as our perceptions and ownership of space; how we use, inhabit and understand it – and how space can, at the same time, both gather and separate us. How do places make us feel and behave?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am currently working with Little Van Gogh<\/a> with a collection of new paintings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On a voluntary basis in my spare time, I help run a weekly art group at a local care home for older people and recently have been helping with art activities for young adults at the Island’s Mountbatten Hospice.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
