About me and my work!

 

 

I am a multimedia artist who works primarily in abstract painting alongside printmaking. I combine these two mediums to explore themes of social class and the divide within society. In my work, I often use acrylic paint to build up layers within my abstract pieces.

 

This process is an important part of my practice, as the layering represents the complexity of life and the systems people exist within.​By bringing together painting and printmaking, I aim to show that there are multiple perspectives to consider when thinking about social inequality, particularly in relation to working-class experiences.

 

The physical layering in my work reflects the idea that there is always more beneath the surface, encouraging deeper thought and discussion around the social divide.​My work is intended to have an emotional impact, helping people feel seen in a world that often misunderstands them.

 

As a working-class artist, I aim to shine a light on my community, highlighting both the mistreatment and misrepresentation it faces. At the same time, I want to celebrate the love, strength, and closeness within these communities.​This is reflected in my paintings of old family portraits, often inspired by my parents and my childhood. These works represent working-class families who, despite the challenges they face, remain resilient and supportive, striving to build the best lives they can for themselves.
