About
I'm a botanical artist, currently working as an artist-in-residence at Sarabande Foundation, London. Whether I’m working across mediums from paper, canvas or skin as a tattoo artist, my visual language extends beyond the scientific lens of Western botanical illustration, entwining different plant species into new living entities.
My artistic journey is deeply rooted in my love for nature, where I find inspiration through outdoor exploration. Countless hours spent observing, researching, and growing plants nourish my creative vision, deepening my understanding of the intricate relationship between humans and our environment.
I specialize in freehand, large-scale botanical tattooing, crafting tailor-made pieces that respect and honor the distinctive morphology of each client's body, evoking a sense of inherent belonging. At the core of my work is the art of storytelling, where I translate the sitters’ personal narratives and their unique relationships with plants into one-of-a-kind tattoos.
Fostering a profound appreciation for the boundless beauty that surrounds us, my cross-disciplinary work becomes an echo for the ecosystem I study.
