‘A Year in Nature’ Print Club
My new Patreon is now live!
Taking nature as inspiration, I’ll be using my work to provide a calm breath in our otherwise frantic world, inviting you all to pause and find a moment of peaceful contemplation.
Each month my subscribers receive a monthly care package containing a mini-print, a curated selection of hand printed stickers, a physical newsletter, and the occasional extra goodie.
I’ll also add a detailed digital delve into the month’s piece, for those who’d like to learn a little more about the process!
Artist Statement & CV
I create art that explores our complex relationship with the natural world. My work blends a contemporary environmental consciousness with the ancient mysticism of our ancestors – the myths and stories that connected us to the land. My mixed British/Asian heritage and upbringing deeply influence my artistic perspective, shaping the themes I explore and the way I see the world. Through the intricate carving and construction of my prints, I hope to inspire viewers to reflect their own place in our ever changing ecosystem, and their role in preserving it.
I'm drawn to traditional printmaking techniques, in particular relief printing. Every line is drawn and carved by hand, with an emphasis on technical skill and intricate detail. In an age of rapidly generated AI art, I believe it's vital to preserve these time-honoured practices and highlight the human story behind each piece. This tangible connection to the creative process is what I value in art, and I hope it resonates with others as well.
I'm also developing ways of incorporating found and recycled materials into my practice, including exploring low-fi intaglio methods, without sacrificing quality or longevity of the piece. As we face down the barrel of environmental crisis, I believe it's essential for all of us to contribute to positive solutions in any way we can.

Creative Background:
My artistic journey began at a young age, attending an art-focused high school before going on to intern in advertising, graphic design and screen printing studios in my teens - most notably with Singapore-based artist Mojoko. These experiences, while formative, ultimately revealed that my true passion lay beyond client briefs and market trends. Ultimately, I didn’t really like being told what to do, and craved a purer form of artistic expression, which led me to studying drawing and printmaking at LMU (formerly The Cass) in London, graduating in 2013 with a BA (hons) in Fine Art: Contemporary Drawing Practice.
The years that followed were a whirlwind of diverse experiences. I lived and traveled in a van with The Mute Collective: a sustainable fashion startup, designing apparel and creating large-scale artwork at festivals and extreme sports events, and I worked as assistant to British pop artist Boyarde Messenger. Other adventures included living in a tent in the Costa Rican rainforest, launching my own skate company, and a brief foray into brewing craft beer.
These experiences, though varied, have all enriched my artistic perspective.
