What is life like at home, outside of the art studio? What are your hobbies and other interests?
I love music so I go to shows and to the theatre as much as possible. I don’t tend to watch too much television but love films. We have a great art house cinema just around the corner. We are so close to a huge amount of little independent venues, and London is only a short train ride away so there is so much really on our doorstep. But I also love getting out into the countryside or down to the seafront to just walk around and explore… it helps me process ideas and relax.
I share my home with my partner Richard, a musician, and our two cats Eva and Milo. We’re actually in the process of moving to Devon to a much bigger place with more room to work. I’m looking forward to finding a new routine soon.
If you created a portrait in your own resemblance, what would she look like?
Somewhere between ‘Liberty Leading The People’ and ‘Whistlers Mother’. Seriously, I used to paint myself a lot and found it an incredibly effective way to learn how to capture a likeness and then how to develop a narrative around one character.
