Born in Scotland in 1973, she was a trained artist (she studied fine art and printmaking at the prestigious Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design in Dundee) and she was a gymnastics champion as a child. She then went on to study New Dance Development in the Netherlands, and Circus School in Sweden. Her muscle memory was such that she could contort and release at will, like an Expressionist study made flesh. 

Indeed, she was often some kind of beautiful anachronism, a waif in white shift dress, capricious and feline, drawing upon breath work and contemporary form, bouncing and bounding to pounding techno. She charged the room with tension, often making audiences visibly uncomfortable: that's wonderful. Art should provoke, poke, intensify. The best art is visceral, it sticks in our vital organs and cannot be dislodged. Dance can shake our bones but so too, it must often shake us out of our complacency. Her work with les ballets C de la B, electronic artist Barry 7 from Add N to (X), Ela Orleans and musician Joseph Quimby spoke to the ever shifting, restless nature of her creative process—not to mention her exquisite taste. Laterly, she was based mostly in Brussels, thrilling Belgian audiences with her unpredictable alchemy.
