An artist based in Sheffield, UK, my work utilises scent-based crafts such as perfumery, candle making and soap making and places them on a contemporary art platform; revealing how such crafts can be considered in line with other artistic disciplines such as painting and sculpture. 

​

One strand of my work, 'Perfume as Practice', takes perfumery and, through a process of investigation and interpretation, uses it to create portraiture through looking at the history, narrative and symbolism found within fragrance.

​

One strand of my work, 'Scents of Our Time', looks at how candle making can respond to news events; harnessing a social and political engagement in a way that acts as an alternative to how we consume the news. 

 

My work takes the guise of exhibitions, residencies, workshops and events across the UK and internationally. 

 

I am also co-founder of Sheffield-based arts initiative called Fronteer, which provides creative opportunities for artists across the UK. As of October 2020 I opened Fronteer Gallery in Sheffield.
