Spring Is in the Air!


Spring is in the Air

Daffodils are blooming, cherry blossom is beginning to unfurl, and there’s a real sense of fresh energy all around. With International Women’s Day this month, March feels especially powerful ...

And I have some exciting news to share!

‘FILLING IN THE GAPS’, Solo Exhibition

Five years in the making, this exhibition is a labour of love

Portraits of Disabled Activists

I’m beyond excited to invite you to my solo exhibition at Marylebone Parish Church.

The private view takes place on 4th March from 5:30pm – 8pm

All Welcome

This very special show features my portrait series of disabled activists. This is a project I’ve been passionately working on for the past five years. These powerful works will soon enter a museum collection, so this is a rare chance to experience them together before they do.

📍 Location: Marylebone Parish Church, 17 Marylebone Road, London, NW1 5LT
📅 Until: 24 March 2026

Opening Times:

  • Monday – Friday: 9am – 5pm
  • Saturday: 10am – 4pm
  • Sunday: 1.30pm – 4pm

If you’d like to meet me there, I would absolutely love to see you — just email me to arrange a time!

Filling in the Gaps in the Press

My portrait commission 'Filling in the Gaps' has been featured in Estila Magazine, Wellbeing News, Elysium Magazine, Marylebone Journal, Ability Today and Creations Atelier among other.

I've also given a few interviews, but more on that when they're published!

Sisterhood – South London Women Artists

I’m also delighted to be part of Sisterhood, a group exhibition celebrating women artists from South London at Lambeth Archives.

The show runs until 31 March 2026 — do pop in and support this wonderful collective of artists.

📍 Location: 16 Brixton Hill, London, SW2 1ET

📅 Until: 31 March 2026

To celebrate 18 years of South London Women Artists a catalogue has been published showcasing the amazing variety of talent in the group

✉️ Secret Postcard Show

I’m taking part in the hugely popular Secret Postcard exhibition at Sprout Arts.

If you haven’t purchased a postcard yet, don’t miss out! When I visited, there were still some absolutely amazing cards available, but they’re selling fast…

📍 Location: Sprout Arts, 74 Moyser Road, London, SW16 6SQ

📅 Until: 07 March 2026

Reflecting Ourselves

Reflecting Ourselves is now live for International Women’s Month here: https://www.together2012.org.uk/activities-programme/2026-events-programme/reflecting-ourselves-disabled-womens-self-portraits/

This is the largest ever exhibition of Disabled women’s self-portraits, with 50 artists from all stages of their career showing work.

Indeed, there are more women represented than in the National Gallery’s 2023-24 exhibition of women’s self-portraits, and the range of work and media is much wider. We hope you are as pleased as we are with the success of the open call.

You are warmly invited to join us celebrating the exhibition on Zoom on Thursday 12 March from 7-8pm and . This event will be run as a webinar, and as usual with our events we will have British Sign Language interpretation and live captions available.


Dulwich Festival Artist Open House

Showing with Creations Atelier in Herne Hill, alongside artists Natalia Giacomino, Paola Minekov and Mark Coster.

Flat A, 12 Berwyn Road, London, England, SE24 9BD

I'm also showing with SLWA at East Dulwich Picturehouse

🗓Both venues will be open the weekends: 9–10 May & 16–17 May

New Work in Progress

Behind the scenes, I’m embarking on an exciting new body of work.

Over the past ten years, I’ve been photographing discarded mattresses found on the street. I’m now developing this material into a new series of paintings and collages, exploring ideas of hotel rooms, transience, intimacy, and the stories we leave behind.

Watch this space — I can’t wait to share more soon.

With birthdays and anniversaries coming up this spring, why not give something truly personal?
