Veronica is a socially engaged visual artist based in East London whose practice explores inner-child healing, nostalgia, and the transformative role of play, memory, and sensory engagement in adult life. Her work often depicts transitional objects and memory-inspired forms, evoking personal reflection, emotional connection, and joy. Across her practice, she creates experiences that invite audiences to reconnect with their own memories and sense of play.
In 2021, Veronica received a grant from Arts Council England to collaborate with a psychologist and survivors of abuse, creating a series of large-scale artworks depicting the stages of the narcissistic abuse cycle. These works are permanently housed at the Nightingale Psychiatric Hospital in central London and are actively used in group therapy sessions. She has also been commissioned for NHS projects, including artworks for the James Wigg Practice, murals for the NHS Time Together app, and solo exhibitions at the Tavistock and Portman NHS Trust and James Wigg Practice.
Veronica’s socially engaged practice extends into textile-based projects that explore memory, transitional objects, and intergenerational storytelling. In one project, she worked with students, parents, and carers to create a large patchwork of 130 fabric panels reflecting cherished memory objects and experiences. Using natural dyes, collaborative embroidery, and mark-making techniques, the work combined tactile, sensory engagement with shared narrative, resulting in a visually powerful artwork embodying connection, nostalgia, and the therapeutic potential of creativity.
Beyond healthcare and educational contexts, Veronica has been commissioned by community groups and housing developers, including Galliard Homes, Clarion Housing, Qualis Group, and Taylor Wimpey Homes, producing participatory projects and large-scale illustrations for development site hoardings. Her practice bridges socially engaged work with visually compelling, sensory experiences that resonate across public, institutional, and private contexts.
Veronica holds a 1st Class Honours Degree in Surface Pattern Design from the University of Wales and an MA in Communication Design/Illustration from Kingston University, giving her a rich, interdisciplinary background in design, textiles, illustration, and digital media. With numerous solo exhibitions, group shows, and original artworks in private collections in the UK and internationally, she is now focused on expanding her practice into public space commissions — including buildings, urban environments, and health or mental health spaces. She welcomes collaborations and commissions that bring her socially engaged, sensory practice to life in settings where it can spark reflection, connection, and joy.
