ABOUT:

I'm a non-binary artist who makes paintings in the expanded field, which is a really fancy way of saying I call anything I feel like a painting.

I'm also director of an arts organisation called Short Supply that acts as a bridge between emerging artists and larger arts organisations. We produce exhibitions, workshops and talks to create enriching environments that traditional education can’t - to platform, connect and exchange knowledge alongside emerging artists.

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.
