Born in Devizes, Wiltshire, Fierce Fine Art completed a BA in Fine Art at Nottingham Trent University and now lives and works in Leeds. Her life as an artist has developed alongside employment and parenthood — a balance that continues to shape and inform her practice.

She works across an expansive drawing practice, producing pencil works and constructed sculptural pieces that explore the complexities of the human condition. Her work examines patterns, cycles, repeated actions and routines. What interests her is the way ordinary things and moments carry feelings and memories through subtle, often overlooked, physical cues that reveal more than is often intended. Small, unguarded gestures; the ways our bodies hold emotion; how we inhabit spaces and the meaning we grant to the things around us all form part of her ongoing inquiry.

Each piece begins with observing and noticing, sometimes this is within the artist, sometimes in the people she knows and sometimes in the world around her.  She is drawn to those moments we might not notice in ourselves because we do then so routinely or those that suggest inner feelings and emotions. Much of her work focuses on women, mothers and girls, reflecting an interest in how the body mediates both intimacy and the cultural pressures that shape our responses to it.

She has presented several solo exhibitions in Leeds, most recently at Aire Place Studios, and has shown work in group exhibitions nationally over the last twelve years, including at The Bankley, Flux, The Gallery at Green & Stone, and the Guildford Open. She has been shortlisted for the Ruth Borchard Self-Portrait Prize online exhibition and for the Trinity Buoy Wharf Drawing Prize. Her work has been described as challenging, brave, honest and moving.
