I was in the circus when I was a kid called Flipside and I loved the trapeze ! I was obsessed with Cirque du Soleil and truly thought I would become the Queen of the Spanish web ! I still love circus and will have another round on the trapeze I know it !

I dream and swim.

If I’m stuck on an idea I will also go out and dance with my friends to move my body and switch off. Sometimes you just need a good sweaty shake to find your flow.  Music is a very important part of my practice. I love to listen to musicians that relate to the themes in new bodies of work I’m exploring. I have playlists that I blast in my studio while I draw, write and weave ideas together.

My practice has relaxed a lot as I’ve gotten older or perhaps I’ve found my tempo. I started uni at 17 so I was quite little compared to others in my course. I really took on board a lot of suggestions of what an artist “should do” as the way to make. That actually isn’t my way. I have dreamt every single artwork I’ve ever made far before I started drawing it.  Spiritual connection to my imagery is really vital for me to keep diving into an idea. There has to be organic timing for me to want to pursue ideas. I would say one main thing that has changed is the importance of writing. I used to move straight into imagery and collecting colours and textures that felt right for what I wanted. Now I often include words in this collection process. I will surround myself with the colour, language, quotes that  I feel that relate to each work and I can get quite obsessed with everything relating to these ideas. I love full immersion! When I was making Eye Hear U magik I wore sapphire blue for 2 months as I just needed that around me !

Ritual wise life is a ritual . I try to make offerings to myself to always feel nourished and take care of my whole self and those I love first. I have Sacred Bliss tattooed on my thighs to remind me that’s how I want and need to step into every day.

My environment, from authors, from my family both chosen and blood. From weather patterns, from the stars, from sea currents, from singers, from colours that change my entire mood, from conversations that spark fireworks of ideas, from optehr creative humans putting their hearts onto walls and asking us to look.

Being human -Means evolving. Every day re-learning/ unlearning/ freeing yourself to find your true core. There is pain, there is joy, there are births, there are deaths but without every ounce of it we wouldn’t be living. There are universal truths that weave us together and I believe the most powerful art taps into these.

Surfing, dancing, djing and laughing til my abs hurt with my loved ones. I also love to eat seafood in the sunshine and truly believe we all deserve a delicious life!

Getting older. It is a privilege to age and keep living. Many dear humans to me have transitioned to the other side and they all lived Big! I am grateful to be here.

Celebrate every step! The small steps matter baby girl ! You’re fuckin invincible and powerful trust your gut!
