How I got here …

I was born in 1986 and grew up in Hackney. I studied fine art at the University of East London and completed my Printmaking MA at the Royal College of Art in 2014. My work predominately deals with ideas of identity; I attempt to hold up a mirror to society's obsession with race and gender. I mainly work within the print medium but not exclusively; I have always thought that whatever medium gets the idea across the best is what I’ll use.

In the beginning I dreamt of becoming an amazing figurative painter but quickly found I lacked patience and levels of concentration needed to achieve what I imagined. Working in many print disciplines I like to think I approach each project with a painter's mind, taking me down new avenues, pushing boundaries and discovering new possibilities.
