And here is a picture of the placard I made for Guy Atkins' Make the March project:

Unite for Equality.jpg

..United we stand, divided we fall...In terms of gender, I am currently reading The Equality Illusion by Kat Banyard and it has reminded me that despite the fact that we have achieved much in the struggle for equal rights with men, there is still a very long way to go. Page 3 still exists, equal pay is a myth. Media representations of women and our inability to throw off the ingrained social stereotyping that starts in the nursery mean that we must pull together and work harder for change. Men and women unite in the fight for equality! If we BELIEVE we CAN achieve! I am convinced that financial equality is also possible. Sharing comes naturally to some people and I think it should be considered a pure pleasure to spread the wealth, share the love as well as the money. We all benefit from the positivity of a happier and healthier society, there really is enough money to share so that our society can be bountiful for all of us. I was also exploring the premise that I am a whole and complete person, it is society that makes me disabled. We have the resources and the ability and as a society we have the responsibility to accept difference and to cherish one another for who, not what, we are. Let's unite for equality on all fronts, in all ways, for everyone!

Hope you can make it along to my forthcoming exhibition

Conversation Drawings

a drawing and painting installation that is inspired by interactions carried out during my recent artist residency at The Butterworth Centre, a continuing care home in St. John's Wood, a Westminster Arts project.
The exhibition is part of Alternative Arts' Wise Words festival for Women's History Month.

Come and enjoy a delicious buffet at the opening on Tuesday March 6th, from 6.30 to 9.30pm.

The show then continues until April 2nd. Opening hours:
Mon. - Fri. 9.30am - 10.30pm
Sat. and Sun. 8.30am - 10.30pm

Address: Trattoria Sapori Restaurant, 44 Newington Green, London N16 9QH
Nearest station Canonbury.


During my residency I developed a style of bright colours and bold shapes while working with the residents, engaging in artistic interventions and collaborations with them and documenting our conversations. This exhibition is a series of works inspired by the new style that I developed and the conversations that I had, as well as events from my everyday life during that time.






"Art at the Trattoria" is a new monthly venue hosting art exhibitions. These are curated by Katja Heber and Paola Vernizzi in turns. Our goal is, apart from providing a place for people to meet and/or discuss art in a welcoming, friendly and fun environment, to provide emerging and established artists with exhibition space and the opportunity to promote and sell their work. The Trattoria Sapori is apart from being an excellent Pizzeria and Italian restaurant a stylish and very cosy venue with some fantastic wall space to display art on.
Should you be an artist and interested in exhibition space, don't hesitate to contact us.
