Statement:

I am a multidisciplinary artist, witch and intuitive tarot reader based in East London, UK. My creative practice perches playfully on the intersections between art-making, visionary experience and mythopoesis, drawing on the archetypes of contemporary culture and historical narratives alike to spin new spells towards collective transformation.

My approach is both mythopoetic and visionary, I use my own intuitive insights to guide me across the treacherous terrain that connects the contemporary to the archaic, presenting elements of popular culture alongside arcane symbolism. In this I attempt to show the primordial as alive and kicking in prime time entertainment. For me, world-building is a form of spell-crafting, helping us to reverse the hex of disenchantment and reimagine the myths we live by.

I graduated from Goldsmiths University with a First Class Honours in BA Fine Art & History of Art in 2016. After spending several years cultivating and combining my spiritual and art practices, I am now enrolled on MA Visual Communication at Royal College of Art.
