Hello...

A little bit about me!

I came to art later in life, as a way of processing my mixed up thoughts. I had a successful career as a Creative Director in London which I had to leave when I had my family. First I felt like I'd lost my career, then I felt like I'd lost myself...

I used drawing as a way of finding my way back to myself. Now I'm older, I see more clearly the way the world works and how society is structured for women. We have the romanticizing of women can "have it all" rhetoric as a form of progress and empowerment i.e. have a career and family, be a warrior and a princess, wear pants and dresses, and whatever other neat juxtaposition that fits into existing power structures, so long as they do not deviate from what the patriarchy assigns for women either (keeping the structure in place).

We are not safe in our homes, or the streets. We are underrepresented in the boardroom, and overlooked when it comes to healthcare. We live in a society that profits from our self doubt. We are made to feel too fat, too thin, too ugly, too old. But I say enough.

I want my art to be a voice for women. So they see that they are heard and seen. That they are valued and empowered to be all they can be. I want women to know that they are worthy of love and that most of all, that they are enough. Because in this society that profits from our self doubt, self love is an act of rebellion. And I am a rebel.
