Strands
Added September 2024
Delighted to announce that a couple of my prints will be included in ArtCan’s forthcoming exhibition Strands.
This show aims to explore how most artists’ practice is made of strands, ideas pursued across techniques, explorations open to different medias, all weaved around the artist as the centre of gravity of their own world.
As someone one who often experiments with different printmaking techniques, the idea appealed a lot and I can’t wait to see how other artists have responded to the prompt.
The show will run from the 25th of October until the 31st, at the Department store in Brixton
Future Primitive
Added October 2024
Delighted that my print Sensation was selected for Future Primitive, an exhibition at Versus Arts in Clapton.
The curators say: “ Despite the technological and social avancements of the modern age, humanity is facing a deep crisis of identity, freedom and meaning. In this exhibition, we aim to initiate a meaningful dialogue through art, focusing on the profound effects of modern civilisation on human relationships, nature and individual freedom. This exhibition seeks to merge past and future, encouraging reflection on how a simpler, nature-connected, and freer way of life can be reimagined through the lens of art.”
The exhibition ran from 5th to 19th October,

Fiesta!
Added June 2024
Delighted to announce that I am a curator for an exciting new show this summer, along with Liz Whiteman Smith, Sarah Hamilton and Debbie Tearle.
Fiesta! is a visual response to the act or feeling of a summer ‘fiesta’, and raises a glass to the summer, to playfulness, warmth, colour, vibrancy and positive energy.
The word ‘fiesta’ comes from the Latin ‘festus’ meaning festive, joyful or merry –everything this exhibition will encapsulate. Around 200 original pieces will be on show from over 120 UK and international artists, with 2D and 3D works across painting, drawing, photography, sculpture and textile art.
The exhibition is organised by ArtCan, and will run from the 3rd of July till the 14th at Inky Fingers Gallery, London E9 5LW
Home
Added September 2023
Delighted to announce that one of my prints has been selected for a new ArtCan exhibition taking place in October. The show is called Home and is taking place at The Department Store in Brixton, in collaboration with Suna Interiors.
The call-out asked us to reflect on the idea of "home" in all its variations: place of origin, place of belonging, whether present or missing.
I chose to respond with a print called Aphinar, with evokes the last words of a dying poet, an imaginary ailleurs he dreamt of but forever out of reach.

Cyanotype exhibition at Townhall Hotel
Updated Feb 2022
My cyanotypes display at Townhall Hotel in London has been extended!.
The hotel is situated in an old Town hall building in Bethnal Green, London. The space is amazing, and they obviously have excellent taste in art! It is an intriguing project, to have my work part of such a lively place, outside of the confines of normal gallery spaces, and interacting with travellers and tourists as they come to explore London.
My cyanotypes are on display there for the foreseeable future, and you can also find a selection of my work on Loca.art’s website.
