T.M/O is truly a one of a kind multi disciplinary artist. She has awkward elbows and leans into the less linear of learning curves. Self taught, self doubting, self driven, and and self saving, T’s work is beyond unapologetic and has been stripping pain from its power through awkward conversations and a refusal to take for granted the hypocrisies we sit with so comfortably. Holding up a mirror to ourselves, T is in love with words and knows for certain they have been the tool to process the hardest times, including the sudden loss of her mother, and her place as a woman in the society we call home.

Currently working on Finding T.M/O - a project dedicated to chasing the authentic self, if it ever stops running - collaborating with artists from both Leeds and London.

T is gaining momentum and looking to meet industry professionals to widen the impact of her work.
