Her projects have been featured in many press publications such as Elle Magazine and The London Newspaper.

Stylised forest with purple and blue tree trunks and luminous yellow-green foliage, with layered gloss paint creating textured, fluid effects in the foreground and background

Recent works include 'Alien Landscapes' - a body of paintings as a result of years of experimentation with gloss and eggshell paint on MDF and other surfaces. Parts of the pictorial scene are carefully layered with more than eight layers of gloss to create an embossed fluid and shiny surface that stands out again the flat-rolled eggshell paint of their background area.

Other parts of the painting, such as the foreground, are a fantastic array of fluid lines that create a dense jungle-like area, the gloss paint makes its own plant-like formations with flows, ebbs and movement. Beautiful. And you can see these artworks on display at the Old Truman Brewery on Brick Lane, London from 17-20 October 2013, as part of The Other Art Fair.
