I am a multidisciplinary artist based in North Yorkshire, specialising in visual and performing arts with a focus on community engagement. My work spans public art, theatre, and participatory projects, designed to bring people together through creativity.
My practice centres on creating art that often reflects the voices of the communities I work with. From large-scale murals and mosaics to immersive performances, I develop projects that foster connection, conversation, and shared storytelling. Recent commissions include Lighting the Lanes at Hemsworth Library and Harrogate Letters, a permanent mosaic installation celebrating local heritage.
Alongside my artistic practice, I lead innovative workshops for charities and organisations, working with diverse participants, including differently-abled artists. As an Artist Facilitator at Artizan International, I support weekly sessions where artists explore their creativity in free-flowing, accessible workshops. I also co-direct The Art Guild (TAG), a Community Interest Company delivering inclusive theatre and multi-arts projects, including The Big Red Shoes at Ripon Theatre Festival 2026. I believe in the transformative power of the arts, ensuring my work remains inclusive and meaningful.
I hold an MA in Creative Practice (Distinction) and a Theatre degree from Leeds University, and I am a UK Creative Communities Fellow. Currently, I am pursuing a PhD in Fine Art at Teesside University, researching inclusive arts and disability-led creative practices.
