ABOUT:

100% state school educated, having had 3 jobs from the age of 14, I learnt young that to have what I wanted I'd have to work hard for it. After a chance entry into TV (privilege of growing up in London), I studied PPE at Oxford, and then became a maths teacher because I wanted our working class young people to grow up feeling clever and that they could do whatever they put their mind to. This is where I thought I could do the most for social mobility and structural change. Now, as an artist, I am interested in how we take up space, use our voices and come together to challenge status quos and reimagine our shared futures. I believe in the power of story. And as a kid with 3 jobs, it is what gave me hope.

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.
