ABOUT:

I am an artist on fabric, walls, and skin. Born on the rural Nottingham/Derbyshire border, a lot of my work focuses on class and identity, and I am drawn to textiles from my mamas' teaching me to knit and sew when I was little. My goal is to bring art to communities that rarely get access to it, like where i grew up, so I love to create murals in rural areas. I use tattooing as a way to fund these community projects, and because its the best job ever.

WORKS:

SUPPORT WORKING CLASS CREATIVES (1).png

'Working Class Creatives' responds to a need which is too often overlooked in the arts; that of the barriers facing working-class artists from getting on in our sector. They are instrumental in initiating much-needed change that will see the art world become more inclusive and reflect the society it purports to serve. I often search their database in my research, it is a vital resource for any arts professional working in culture today. That they have got this far on so little financial resource is remarkable and I am excited to see what they will achieve with further support.” Beth Hughes, Curator, Arts Council Collection.
