I'm an illustrator and nurse based in East London. I use watercolour, gouache and collage to create miniature scenes celebrating what we each bring to the kitchen table.

I have always painted or created in one way or another but I came up with the idea of the tiny tablescape collages during lockdown (when I was clearly very alone for 5 months!). A friend of mine was feeling a little stranded in the country at her in-laws, so I made her a little tabletop collage of the breakfast we often had together, with a note on the back.

I then realised this idea could be expanded on or personalised, so I took on a couple of commissions and haven't looked back. I am also a nurse, and feel incredibly lucky to spend my days doing two very differing things that I believe in so deeply.
