Selected works
I write about art, culture, travel and ideas, from artist profiles and interviews to book and exhibition reviews. My particular interests include twentieth-century women artists, Surrealism, satire and overlooked cultural figures.
I have bylines in The Spectator, Konfekt, Engelsberg Ideas, Condé Nast Traveller, Prospect, Art UK, Broadsheet, Time Out and Elephant Magazine. Please find a selection of clippings below.
