Education She gained her BA in Fine Art from Byam Shaw School of Art (University of the Arts London) and MA in Fine Art from Middlesex University, when the head of the course was Jon Thompson (artist, curator and academic), credited as one of the main influencers and developers of the YBA artist generation. Exhibitions In 2019, her artwork Animalis featured on BBC2's programme about the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition.
