Tender Fictions

 Tender Fictions brings together imagined environments that function like cinematic stills — constructed spaces where figures, animals, and objects coexist in unstable, intimate arrangements. Drawing on collage practice and narrative painting, the works stage moments that feel paused or half-remembered, as if pulled from an unmade film.

Each painting holds a personal fiction: questions of womanhood, visibility, rest, and desire unfold quietly within these fabricated scenes. Rather than offering resolution, the works linger in uncertainty, allowing tenderness, doubt, and daydreaming to share the same ground.

At Home

At home explores figures within interior spaces, where rooms become extensions of the people who inhabit them. Influenced by interior design and domestic architecture, the works offer glimpses into personal environments that feel lived-in rather than observed. These are not scenes of surveillance or distance, but moments of quiet presence — where the viewer is invited to share the space, or to inhabit the perspective of the figures themselves. The interiors hold emotional weight, shaped by stillness, familiarity, and the subtle rituals of everyday life.

What’s In Your Head?

'Can we escape this time, and create somewhere new? Or recreate the past? Either will do.

What’s in Your Head? is a series born out of a need for escapism. For when the realities of life, and the world, become too much. The paintings in this series transcend reality, to create environments with textures, colours and imagery from a personal paradise. A rebalancing of the mind and exploration of desires is still not enough to quieten the darker elements that tear through the imagery. Alluding to the simple fact that we can’t escape, as much as we would like to. And that happiness from our environment is fleeting, true serenity is from within.

Be Seen, Be Counted

'Be Seen, Be Counted depicts a journey of rediscovering self-identity, self-worth and self-awareness. It aims to dispel the disconnection we feel when our insecurities, lack of value and purpose overwhelm our sense of self. The work communicates the importance of speaking encouragingly to our inner voice in order to regain self-confidence, strength and acceptance.
Celebrating the power of self-love and reclaiming one's identity whilst still acknowledging the difficulty of embracing vulnerability. Ultimately, it is a visual representation of hope, joy, and the urgency to find believe in yourself.

Under the Surface

Under the surface explores the unbearably complex emotions of grief, anticipatory grief and living with mental health conditions. How although these are emotional states we think we have an understanding of as a society, the reality of living through these difficulties within this narrow perspective usually leaves many feeling desperately alone.

Throughout the series there is an idea represented about the duality of grief. Some of the colour choices and imagery appear bright and happy. The opposite of what the figures may represent. Alluding to the notion that people display appearances that aren't necessarily associated with depression and grief. In reality our emotions are nuanced and can be hidden by what we project. Joy and vibrancy can exist even in the darkest of times. Humour and love can help us through pain and fear. It's often said that grief is the love we're unable to express for the person who we have lost. That in spite of this pain there is joy that the person existed and that the love you have is eternal.

Additionally, these works showcase the strength we can find within our vulnerability. ‘Vulnerable’ is a term that has plagued women as a stereotype for centuries and has often been misconstrued as a weakness. This series proves that we can be empowered by our vulnerabilities, emotions and lived experiences.

Come Swim Here, These Waters Are Safe

Come Forth and Swim Here, These Waters are Safe explores the interpersonal relationships between women and the notion of “sisterhood”. How it can, and does, exist but additionally acknowledges the falsehoods of sisterhood and the polarity of women’s support.

In the paintings, a recognisable version of ourselves (as women) is presented; who we are, who we want to become, women we know or women we want to know. Women that inspire, empower, nurture and protect each other. The series is building a representative community of women who truly stand up and advocate for each other. 

The title, ‘Come forth and swim here, these waters are safe’ highlights that some waters and spaces feel dangerous, despite how they look, but in this collective work a safe space is being created.
