ABOUT

Born on the Isle of Wight and now based in Southampton as of 2021, Daisy explores the macabre and the grotesque of English countryside settings. Delving into the folklore, voyuerism and story tellings, her work takes an introspective look at the human body and where that fits into the surrounding world.

​

Daisy is a mixed media artist, trained and specialising in oil paints and textile art, with a strong preference in oil pastels and embroidery. Her most recent work combines the two media to build fertile yet barren worlds which invite curiosity and intrigue. 

​

​Over the summer of 2016, Daisy was involved in a curating course at the Quay Arts, putting together an installation for a local artist.  

In June 2019, Daisy's work was shown amongst a number of young creatives at the Depozitory. Showcasing a project in which she explored the treatment of women in south east asian and eastern European mythology. She studied Fine Art at Solent university and completed a series of paintings in response to the death of a childhood pet for her final major project in the university group show. Daisy has also participated in a number of group shows, such as the graduate exhibition titled RIPE PLUMS, hosted by a local Southampton art organisation - and most notably, was selected as one of the winners and an emerging artist of the Freelands Painting prize in 2022.

Daisy is now in her second year of the her post graduate MA in Fine Art at Falmouth university, while establishing a career as a freelance artist and academic.
