Recent achievements include; the acquisition of her piece ‘Hedgerow’ by the Victoria and Albert Museum, selected for a ‘Spotlight’ space at Collect 2017 with Flow Gallery, commissioned to run a project for the TATE Exchange programme as a member of the collective Collective Matter, being twice selected for the Charlotte Fraser Award during her time at the RCA, selected to show with Future Heritage at Decorex 2016 and the upcoming display of her work in the Garden Museum, London.
