ABOUT
I am a multi-disciplinary artist currently working in textiles, ceramics and printmaking. I often exploring ideas around identity, memory, and loss. My latest work is a patchwork and printmaking project creating a quilt using textile with monoprinted images from photographs taken in childhood.
​​
I also produce illustrated zines such as 'Birds of Shame' and make 'matchbook stories', matchboxes filled with short, playful stories. Themes of nostalgia run through my work, and often work from old books and magazines to create new ideas.
​​
I am a photographer with an interest in old, analogue cameras, cyanotype and darkroom techniques.
​​
I have a degree in Creative Expressive Therapies, and I work in community arts, arts and health, and arts engagement roles. I set up Keeping it Crafty in 2018, a community-focused creative arts organisation running regular creative socials and events, workshops, creative well-being sessions and community arts projects. I initiated and co-ordinated The Grapevine Project in May 2020, a collaborative arts project including 120 artists and writers creating new work in response to each other, culminating in an online exhibition.
