Bringing to life people, places and
dreams through hand collage.

My work brings together analog collage and intricate painting, taking inspiration from my photography, Indian travels, people and locality.
When working on personal commissions, I work closely with people to capture the character of the prompts through specific imagery to create their treasured piece.
In addition to original collages I have launched a series of hand embellished limited edition Giclee prints.
Each print is handprinted and gold leaf producing unique images.
If you are interested in my work do get in contact whether it’s to discuss a commission,
own an original or unique limited edition print. (UK delivery or collection only)

Who am I?

I have always been involved in the Arts, whether as a Producer or Photographer. However since 2021 and Covid lockdown, I began to explore again my own creative expression in the form of hand collage and painting. As a Birmingham based contemporary artist I use local themes as well as artwork which challenges female stereotypes.
I have valued reaching people and sharing my work through, Birmingham Open Studios ,Instagram, Facebook and exhibiting at Ikon Contemporary Art Gallery
