My work is always about community, family, memory and history. I strive to make work which is both personal and universal. For over twenty-five years I have made work about urban life, exploring family life and making portraits of individuals living and working in the East End of London. My family moved
from rural Pennsylvania, USA when I was a child and we settled in East London and Essex. I have lived in Hackney for the last twenty-six years with my husband and son. I have been running workshops and leading community projects for local museums and galleries and I have been a lecturer

I have had my work exhibited widely in this country and abroad, Recent work has been featured in the BJP Portrait Award, and recently has been shortlisted in the Lucie Portraits Awards 2021 and the Aesthetica Art Prize Anthology: Future Now....
