About

I am a Visual Artist, Creative Practitioner and Project Co-ordinator based in Nottingham who has been working free-lancing for various Galleries and groups since Jan 2005. I currently work for Nottingham Castle and Museums running their young people's group Illuminate, for Lakeside Arts Centre as Associate Artist running educational sessions in the Gallery, for The Big Draw (Campaign for Drawing) as Regional Associate running training and creative Drawing Workshops and for Landliesfallow CIC which runs environmental and creative workshops in urban settings. My approach is playful and exploratory, encouraging children and young people to think for themselves, try new things and discover possibilities. As a lead artist my workshops include visual art skills such as painting and drawing, textile and storytelling as well as construction and sculptural projects. I have worked with a wide range of groups and settings including Schools, Galleries. Museums, Community and Play settings as well as groups that have included refugee, asylum seekers, disabled and disaffected young people and those with challenging and different behaviour.
