Location:

Clackmannanshire, Scotland.

ABOUT:

As a multidisciplinary artist, through socially engaged practice methodology, I often employ the use of a variety of materials. I favour mixed media installation, often exploring transitions, engagement with place, nature, or relationships between participants experience, I endeavour to find ways of expressing towards well-being.
I have a passion for the role that creativity plays in our society, and in helping build relationships. Inherent to my approach is an active interest in diversity and inclusion, I am proactive in facilitating professional engagement, developing creative networks and building collaborative connections in communities.
As a Curator, I reach out to Artists that may face barriers to inclusion.

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.
