Interview

Describe what you do as a creative:

Creating designs inspired by nature using metal. I am also a photographer and stylist.

Tell us briefly about yourself so we understand where you come from. What’s your family background?:

My father was an illustrator and often created cover illustration for Time Out magazine. When I left school I studied at Kent Institute of Art & Design. In recent years I have trained as an interior designer and worked as a stylist on photoshoots for editorial and commercial clients. I am an all round creative person and try my hand at anything but have a particular passion for photography. I love to paint with oils when I get time.

What did you want to be when you were growing up?:

I used to enjoy dusting for my mum just so I could rearrange all the objet so I think the stylist was always in me. I would spend a lot of time looking at interior and garden magazines and found the 'stylists props' fascinating.

Can you remember your earliest experience with art?:

I was always drawing.

Why did you start doing what you do? What are your reasons? What's your story?:

I love being immersed in/ photographing nature. I wanted to challenge myself by recreating the beauty of foliage and flowers with metal.

How did you begin doing what you do? How and when did it start?:

I have only started working with metal this year and have had positive feedback. Mostly my work is commissioned.

What turns on your creativity? What triggers your need to create?:

Nature. Art and other artists inspiring work. Being behind the lens.

What do you like best about your work?:

That a hard material can look so delicate when manipulated.

When were you most satisfied in your work? What is your golden moment so far?:

When I made my first metalwork which was a very long garland. It took me some hours and it was a journey of discovery along the way. During the process my head kept pinging with more ideas.

What is the most exciting part of your work at the moment?:

To see someone enjoy my work as much as I enjoyed making it.

What is your dream project?:

An installation for an iconic brand, hotel or exhibition.
