I was raised in London but my father is Italian and we traveled a lot during my childhood. I studied Fine Arts at St Martins College of Art. Straight after graduation I moved to NYC for a couple of months to work in the art department on a movie called The Squid and the Whale - a couple of months turned into 12 years. I recently moved to LA, which so far has been wonderfully restorative and inspiring.

Narrative, whimsical, uncanny.

My process varies, depending on whether I am working on a commission, a commercial project or my own artwork. A significant source of inspiration for me comes from movies, even though my work consists of mainly drawings and paintings. I am film obsessed and am constantly watching new and old movies and collecting film stills, which I keep in my archives. I also draw inspiration from several painters and other artists, some of whom I have listed below. My husband and I recently moved to LA and are living in a canyon, which is super quiet and isolated, surrounded by nature. My art studio is a glass-house in the garden, which is like a wildlife sanctuary. There are so many incredible birds that visit while I work and all I can hear are the sounds of nature all day, so I would say that is currently my main source of inspiration and wonder!

I love drawing women. And tiny houses. Tiny anything actually - I have always been obsessed with miniatures and micro-art.

Detailed, atmospheric, obsessive.

My stunning repurposed Art Deco Bracelet, the Trocadero Earrings which have beautiful Amazonite and Labradorite stones and the cool, classic, Box-Chain Choker.

I don’t know if I really have a top three. I mainly just follow my friends on Instagram. But I am constantly collecting images and inspiration from all over - the web, books, life. I have endless folders on my laptop of images I’ve archived over the passed few years.
