I am a British artist living in Torrevieja, a Spanish coastal city situated in the Mediterranean region of the Costa Blanca.

In May 2025 I completed a BA(Hons) Textiles degree with The Open College of the Arts in the UK (distance learning). Post-study, this blog was set up as a repository for me to collate and reflect on the things that inspire me. I hope that it also serves to foster connections with creatives working in visual arts and beyond.

The vibrant colours of my surroundings and Torrevieja’s national and cultural diversity are what inspires me. Primarily, I want to use my practice as a vehicle to celebrate diversity and to promote tolerance and inclusion.
