In Practice
I find my work as a teacher, technician and facilitator absolutely vital to my work as an artist. I’m currently completing an MA in Art & Design in Education at UCL’s Institute of Education. I believe in the power of art for social change, wellbeing and the enrichment of life, and have chosen to organise my working world around these core beliefs. I’ve supported professional artists, worked with children aged 3-18, the general public through galleries and fairs, and am trained to support reminiscence arts activities for people living with dementia.
I recently led Hart School 2021-22, an alternative educational project for 6 adults previously unable to access formal arts education due to lack of support for disability and learning difference and/or financial barriers, at Hart Club, a gallery in Waterloo championing neurodiversity in the arts.
I work as an Artist-Educator with studio charity Bow Arts, delivering ambitious project commissions with schools around London. I have recently delivered workshops at The Museum of the Home.
I was formerly a technician and Printmaking Fellow at Bainbridge Print Studios, Elephant & Castle, where I specialised in Intaglio and Relief. I trained as a technician at London Print Studio.
Please get in touch if the skillset listed above could be put to good use in your school, gallery, community or company.
