Born and raised in the UK, I’m a Hong Kong based artist and designer.  

My journey into art has been a circular one.  It started with a deep passion as a child, raised in a household that celebrated creativity, my mother always sewing a new dress, my father painting (usually motorbikes) and both of them with a serious photography habit.  Art was just around me.  School holidays were spent in the darkroom and everywhere our family went so did heavy camera equipment. Life, however, had a different path for me and I left art behind at the age of 18 to focus on finance and economics, which eventually brought me to Hong Kong in 2001.

Hong Kong was eye opening in so many ways. I was captivated by the architecture, the nature, the people and the cultural opportunities that exist here.  After a while I found myself constantly looking for ways to reintroduce creativity into my life - I took courses in photography, floral design and fashion while holding down a corporate job but it wasn’t until much later that I finally stumbled across Interior Design.  It was during this training that I found I could lose myself for hours in the intricacies of design and colour theory, but I also picked up a pencil and sketched again for the first time in years. It wasn’t, however, until a retreat in Thailand and an unexpected art jam that I reconnected with a paint brush and I finally felt as though part of me had come back to life. The path to expertise is a long and imperfect one but I feel incredibly lucky to be able to share this next part of my journey with you.
