About

I am a writer based in London. 

I graduated from the Royal College of Art’s MA Writing programme in 2025. 
During the course, and in my work since,I explore the relationship between landscape, art, people and memory,
how the experience of the landscape contributes to the formation of identity, personal and societal,
how places in the natural world and buildings become the site of memories,
how those memories are remembered, recorded, saved, passed down, forgotten, reremembered,
how longing for a place and belonging in a place and homesickness and home are made manifest –

I draw on the work of artists and writers from throughout history, as well as primary archival sources, letters, diaries, photographs, from my own family and other figures. I explore how the experience of nature translates – or fails to translate – in writing, painting or any other medium, and how it morphs as it slips through these different lenses.

I have a BA and MA in History of Art from the Courtauld Institute of Art. 

I was an artist in residence at Monson Arts in January 2026. 

I am a co-founder and editor of – and regular contributor to – (Parentheses) Review.
