I want to continue to break down barriers between these two different worlds. I don’t want any barriers in my way.

I can escape through painting, exploring and pushing the boundaries between a disabled world and an able-bodied world. I have recently achieved a MFA in painting from the Slade School of Fine Art, London. Previously, I completed a BA in fine art at Falmouth College of Art. I have a slight physical disability called Cerebral Palsy. My disability is to my advantaged when I produce work. With my difficult hand movements and moments of frustration brings spontaneity and freedom to the paintings. Without being able to communicate easily with strangers at first, my work acts like a visual voice. Through the work, I want to continue to break down barriers between these two different worlds.

I am a member of Newlyn Society of Artist and have recently had a solo show in Falmouth and a forthcoming exhibition in Bournemouth.
